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

1. The name of the event.
2. The date of the event.
3. The number of participants.
4. The number of lobsters required.
5. The dates you will be fishing.

You must turn in your tags immediately on your last day of fishing.

When you request is approved, you must make arrangements with the Fisheries Director for a Monitor to accompany you on your boat. The Monitor must be present to observe the measuring and the count of your catch.

Your request for replacement tags must be in writing and you must turn in your old tag if available. Your old tag number will be voided and both the old and the new tag numbers will be given to the Monitors, the Guardians and DFO.

Management plan (rules)
As a service and a reminder, we are posting the management plan for your review.
As a further reminder, ALL catches must be monitored at the Lennox Island wharf.
ANY CATCHES NOT MONITORED WILL RESULT IN REPOSSESSION OF YOUR TAG PLUS THE LOSS OF ACCESS TO THE FOOD FISHERY FOR A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS.

We have created a list of all tag numbers for

a) all fishers
b) fishers who are fishing for elders
c) fishers who are fishing ONE other tag with an attached doctor’s note d) Off reserve fishers and
e) employees of the Fisheries Program who are eligible to have another person fish for them.

This list is revised/updated on a daily basis and is given to the Monitors, the Guardians, the Band Council and to DFO.

The Fisheries Guardians have the authority to board your boats for inspection of your catch re size, spawns etc.
