“All fishing, including recreational fishing, is permitted with the exception of charter fishing,” said Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Barbara Creecy in a statement on Monday.

The department says fishers must ensure that they have a valid permit. Subsistence hunting for food with the necessary permits is also permitted.

and all regulations relating to social distancing, health protocols, movement and the prohibition of groups and gatherings apply.
