Thanks @thesmacleodshow for tackling this under-reported issue .

As EAC explained, Clearwater has 6,500 traps on one gigantic boat (used to be 8,000), while Indigenous fishers have 50 traps.

Other than you, MSM seems to be ignoring Risley’s plundering via offshore fishery. Image
Here’s a Paul Withers story from Jan. 2019.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) says the practice poses a "serious conservation risk" because lobster and other species can be unintentionally caught. @DFO_MAR

Enough is enough. Settlers of Mi’kmaq territory you should be ashamed. I am ashamed of all the racialized settlers who remain silent. We have come to this land with the audacity to think that it is ours?!? It is NOT. This is UNCEDED UNSURRENDERED MI’KMAQ TERRITORY. #Mikmaki 1/5
EVERY benefit we reap from this land is due to the Mi’kmaq nations generosity. WE ARE IN DEBTED TO THEM! THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS SAY SOMETHING ABOUT ABOUT THE WHITE SUPREMACIST TERRORISM THAT IS HAPPENING IN Saulnieville. #ModerateLivelihood #Mikmaki 2/5
Why so silent as you watch white supremacy manifest? Because you benefit off of it. You benefit off of violating Mi’kmaq rights. I am a displaced #pashtun born/raised in #Mikmaki . my oral code taught me abt the love, care and solidarity I am to have with Mi’kmaq people 3/5
