The P.E.I. government has approved lobster marketing board regulations that will allow for a lobster levy to be collected next spring.
The new legislation allows for the establishment of a board to administer the levy for the marketing of lobster, and to represent the interests of lobster fishermen provincially and nationally.
The regulations require lobster fishermen to pay a levy of one cent per pound of lobster sold to buyers and authorizes the board to ensure that the levy is collected.
