The newly restored fishery was opened in late July and, a little over a month later was paused due to landings approaching the seasonal limit.

According to sources, northern cod used to be vital to the province’s 400-year-old fishing industry; however, this has changed due to overfishing, poor fisheries management, and environmental changes, causing the population to crash in the early 1990s.
 

Minister Lebouthillier had reportedly ignored briefing notes from May that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) recommended maintaining the longtime moratorium based on scientific evidence. Political advisors within the minister’s office had argued that reopening the commercial fishery and raising quotas would be a political victory.
