A Nova Scotia fishing captain has pleaded guilty to fishing inside the Gully Marine Protected Area near Sable Island.

It's the first conviction in the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Maritimes region for unauthorised fishing inside a marine protected area.
 

Captain Phillip Chetwynd was fined $5,000 in Port Hawkesbury provincial court this week for non-compliance with licence conditions under the Fisheries Act.

The 15-metre Ryan and Girls was fishing for halibut near the protected area in February 2021 when it was spotted about 300 metres inside Zone 1 — a closed area that encompasses a deep canyon environment including important habitat for cold-water corals, dolphins and whales.
