Commercial Fisheries are vital to Atlantic Canada!

The Unified Fisheries Conservation Alliance (UFCA) has been granted intervenor standing in a proceeding commenced in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia by of Sipekne’katik First Nation.

In this proceeding, it is alleged that the federal Fisheries Act and certain federal regulations unjustifiably infringe upon the Applicants’ treaty right affirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada in the Marshall decisions to fish for trade in pursuit of a moderate livelihood.

This Action is currently in the production of documents stage, meaning all parties, including Sipekne’katik First Nation (plaintiff), Attorney General of Canada (defendant) and the UFCA (Intervenor) are collecting and submitting evidence for argument.

The UFCA needs the financial support to continue representing your vested interest in the commercial fisheries in the courtroom. Everyone who relies on a healthy, sustainable, and fair fishery should be supporting this critical legal challenge: commercial licence holders (all species), deck hands, boat shops, marine supply companies, insurance companies etc.

➡️The UFCA operates solely by volunteers - no paid full time or part time employees. All funds go toward legal fees, government relations, and accounting services.
