Huu-ay-aht is pleased to share that yesterday Huu-ay-aht Fishers have landed and sold their first Chinook in the Maa-nulth Incremental Community-based Economic Fishery.
This Fishery was negotiated though the “ Me Too” Clause within the Maa-nulth Treaty. This is the first step in gaining access to economic fisheries for Maa-nulth citizen fishers.
On August 19th three HFN fishers landed fish at the offload site in Ucluelet and were cut a cheque on site for their catch.
Huu-ay-aht raises their hands to the hard work that went into this opportunity and send good luck to the fishers as they continue to catch fish in the fishery.
