Weeks after the resumption of the crab fishery, the FFAW is calling on Ottawa for economic support to address income shortages this year due to lower catch prices.
The FFAW says harvesters and fish plant workers will be hard-pressed to survive the upcoming season.
Today, FFAW-Unifor launched a campaign for federal support for those impacted by the post-pandemic collapse in the snow crab fishery. The proposal includes income support requests for fish harvesters, fishery workers, and enterprise owners, to address significant income shortages this year and provide the help needed to make it to next season.
According to the FFAW, the fishery is a reliable, sustainable, and important source of economic development for coastal communities with over 7,500 Newfoundlanders and Labradorians relying on the crab solely or mostly for their livelihood.
