Minigoo Fisheries

"The lobster food fishery for Lennox Island is a long term project. Any Lennox Island Band Member 18 years of age will have the option of either applying to receive one tag for their own use or apply to have the Band fish their lobster for them."

"Requests for social or ceremonial tags must be received, in writing at least 10 days prior to the social or ceremonial event. Unless the event is for the community, you must supply your own bait and traps. Please provide the following information in your request"

"The Minigoo story begins thousands of years ago, before European settlement of North America, when the ancestors of today's Mi'kmaq people came in their ocean going canoes to harvest shellfish and lobster from the shallow bays and harbours of Prince Edward Island. "

"Licences held by the Lennox Island First Nation are communal and operated by the band. As part of our business plan Lennox Island will be undertaken to better utilize existing licences within the Lennox Island community and through partnerships outside of Lennox Island. "

"Fisherman's Pride Inc. is a primary resource harvester and seller of inshore seafood, based on the Lennox Island First Nation reserve, on Lennox Island. Fisherman's Pride is a communal commercial stakeholder in the inshore fishery, owning and administering a variety of fishery licenses and quotas. "
