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.
