PEI Lobster Levy Will Be Ready For Spring, Says Fishermen's Group

The manager of the PEI Fishermen's Association says progress is being made to ensure a new lobster marketing levy is ready for the upcoming spring season.

The provincial legislation is in place for a one cent-per-pound levy for both fishermen and buyers, and now details are being finalized on who should collect it, how it will be allocated, and who will sit on the marketing board.

Meetings have involved representatives from the fishermen's association, the PEI Seafood Processors Association, the province, and First Nations.
