169224Eng.Pdf SCALLOP AREAS 15 TO 20 1993 1993 MANAGEMENT PLAN Approved by: irector-General ( f' ._) A J <) ~ 2 Summary o f t he management plan This management plan is based upon consultations with fishermen associations and producers involved in this fishery. The objectives of the plan are as follows: the conservation and restoration of scallop stocks and an allocation of the resource based on equity between coastal communities of the Quebec Region. The waters administered by the Quebec Region are subdivided in 15 s cal lop f i shing areas , as described in this Management Plan. The Upper a nd Middle North Shore has been divided in seven (7) areas with the establishment of a new area (16G) between Grande Pointe and Rivière de la Corneille. This area aims at better d istributi ng the f ishing effort and thus reducing the risk of a l ocal overexploitation of the scallops beds in the Mingan archipelago where a 50% decrease over a two-year period was noticed. Gaspe peninsula has been divided in two (2) areas and the Anticosti Island in four (4) areas. Those divisions aim at f avouring the expl oitation of all scallop beds. The number of licenses for the whole Quebec areas will be limited to 80 in 1993. Along the Upper North Shore (area 16A), an expl oratory permi t will be issued in order to assess the c ommercial potential of some f ishing grounds presently non­ expl oi ted. The eastern portion of Anticosti Island will be expl ored in the context of a scientific f ishing by a maximum of four Magdalen Islands fishermen in the area 18C and by a maximum of four fishermen from Lower North Shore in the area 180. Four (4 ) scient ific permits will be issued in the portion of area 16E located between Rivière de la Corneille and Aguanish in order to a ssess the commercial potential of this sector. Except for areas 15 (Lower North Shore), 19A (Chaleur Bay) and 20 (Magdalen Islands) , non-renewed licenses will be reissued in a ccordance with the Commercial Fisheries Licensing Policy for Eastern Canada (selection followed by a public draw). Concerning t he quotas , the seven (7) Area 160 fishermen will have a n individual quota of 20 . 412 tonnes (45,000 pounds) of scallop meat, a n 18.2% decrease compared to 1992. This individual quota will be distributed at the rate of 25 , 000 pounds of meat in area 160 (from May 1 to June 30), 10,000 pounds in area 18A (from July 1 to 31) and 10 , 000 pounds in area 16G (from August 1 to 31). 3 The two (2) area 16E fishermen will have an individual quota of 22.68 tonnes (50,000 pounds) of scallop meat, a 9.1% decrease compared to 1992. This individual quota will be distributed at the rate of 25,000 pounds of meat in area 16E (from May 1 to J u ne 30), 10,000 pounds in area 18A (from July 1 to 31), 10,000 pounds in area 16G (from August 1 to 31) and finally 5, ooo pounds in area 16E between September 1 and 30. The access to subarea 16F remains restricted to scallop f ishermen based in area 15 (Lower North Shore). In order to protect the main feeding and calving habitats of the St. Lawrence beluga population (which is on the list of endangered population), any fishing activity with a scallop drag will be prohibited upstream of a straight line joining Grande Anse on the North Shore and the east poi nt of Isle Verte in the Lower St. Lawrence area. In area 15, a scallop licensee will be authorized to renew h is scallop license in 1994 if he uses it in 1993 and catches at least 500 lb (227 kg) of scallop meat in 1992 or 1993 . catches during these two years are not cumul ative. Aiming at a better use of all licenses, this measure will allow some flexibility to fish other species. In area 20 (Magdalen Islands), the fishi ng season will begin on April 1 and will end on September 30 in the traditional and well known fishing grounds. Outside of these traditional fishing grounds in the area 20, the fishing season will end on October 31. 4 DETAILED MANAGEMENT PLAN - 1993 Basic principles i) Conservation and restoration of scallop stocks. ii) Access to all scallop stocks will be regulated by the following means: number of fishing licenses, areas, f ishing seasons, boat size and individual quotas. iii) The scallop fishery, being identified as an inshore fishery, the resource will be allocated on a basis of equity, taking into account adjacency to the resource, dependency of coastal communities and economic efficiency of the fishing fleet. 5 The waters administered by the Quebec Region are subdivided in 15 scallop fishing areas, as described in the Appendix I. I- LICENSING POLICY A) Regular and exploratory licences. 1) In all areas, to the exception of area 18B (Northeastern Gaspe peninsula and Southwestern Anticosti Island), the scallop fishery will be limited to fishing boats smaller than 50 feet (15.2 m) LOA. 2) In area 18B (Northeastern Gaspe · peninsula and Southwestern Anticosti Island), fishing vessels not exceeding 65 f eet ( 19. 8 m) LOA will be permi tted to fish for scallops. 3) The maximum number of licenses, that can be issued in 1993 in each area is identified in Appendix II. 4) One (1) exploratory permit will be issued in area 16A (Upper North Shore). 5) Non-renewed licenses in areas 16B, 16C, 16D, 16E, 17A and 18B will be reissued. 6) Access to area 16F will be restricted to scallop fishermen based in area 15. 7) Regular scallop license holders of area 160 or 16E will also have access to areas 18A and 16G. 8) In area 15, a scallop licensee will be authorized to renew his scallop licehse in 1994 if he meets the two (2) following conditions: a) Utilization of his license in 1993; and b) Catch of at least 500 lb (227 kg) of scallop meat in 1992 or 1993. Catches during these two years are not cumulative. 6 B) Scientific permits. 1) A maximum of four (4) scientific permits will be available in the portion of area 16E located between Rivière de la Corneille and Aguanish according to the following conditions: * 2 permits: Full-time fishermen. Resident between Baie Johan-Beetz and Natashquan included. Not to hold a scallop licence.

  • Innu (Montagnais) in Newfoundland
    Innu (Montagnais) in Newfoundland CHARLES A. MARTIJN Ministere des Affaires culturelles, Quebec Introduction A number of years ago in an article with the intriguing title "A Nice Place to Visit, But . .", Tuck and Pastore (1985) outlined how during the course of prehistory various native groups, Amerindians as well as Paleo-Eskimo, moved from the mainland, across the Strait of Belle-Isle into Newfound­ land. Due to the "closed" nature of food resources on this island, there appears to have been a cycle of extinctions with each prehistoric group be­ ing successively replaced by new immigrants. Not surprisingly, such native population movements, although on a reduced scale, also continued to take place during post-contact times. The present discussion1 will focus on voyages made during the past three centuries by Montagnais Indians (or Innu as they call themselves) from Quebec and Labrador. They travelled to Newfoundland to hunt, to trap furbearers and to trade, and in some instances to settle there perma­ nently. This constitutes a chapter in Montagnais history which nowadays is largely forgotten.2 Few old people survive who were actually born there, JI am indebted to Moira T. McCaffrey for her invaluable suggestions and editing services. My sincere thanks are extended to Jose Mailhot, Ingeborg Mar­ shall, Toby Morantz, Ralph T. Pastore, Francois Trudel and Sylvie Vincent for commenting on earlier versions of this paper presented at the First Labrador Straits Studies Conference in Forteau, Labrador, September 15-17, 1988 and at the Twenty-First Algonquian Conference in St. John's, Newfoundland, October 27-29, 1989. I also wish to express my appreciation to Ed Dahl of the National Archives in Ottawa, and to R.

  • The S.S. Gaspesia (Left) and S.S. North Shore (Right) at Montreal's Victoria
    CHAPTER 3 The s.s. Gaspesia (left) and s.s. North Shore (right) at Montreal’s Victoria Pier c. 1922 THE CLARKE STEAMSHIP COMPANY: FORMATIVE YEARS During its formative years, although they had successfully been able to export their woodpulp in chartered ships, the Clarke enterprises on the North Shore had most recently suffered from poor inbound transport services. Several companies had tried to establish subsidized steamship services between Quebec and the North Shore, but the fact that they had met with shipwreck and failure meant that the contract had changed hands quite often, especially since the outbreak of war in 1914. The area did of course have its problems. A sparse population scattered over a coastline of nearly 800 miles between Quebec and the Strait of Belle Isle at Blanc-Sablon, a lack of adequate harbour and docking facilities, and the many shoals of the river altogether presented a formidable barrier to operating a regular and profitable steamship line on the Gulf of St Lawrence. Clarke City was less than half way to the Strait of Belle Isle and the whole of the Quebec North Shore around 1920 had a total population of only about 15,000 from Tadoussac to Blanc-Sablon, of which one-third was below Clarke City. Since the South Shore to Gaspé and Prince Edward Island services had sometimes relied upon the same steamship services, a similar story could be told there. Not only had this region lost the services of the Quebec Steamship Co when the Cascapedia was withdrawn from the Gaspé Coast at the end of 1914 and then from Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia in 1917, but it had also suffered the loss of the Lady of Gaspé.

(Gilbert) Stephen Hull Delphina Mercer Editors On behalf of the Provincial Archaeology Office, I am pleased to provide you with the 2007 Provincial Archaeology Office Archaeology Review; an annual summary of the past year’s field season. The Archaeology Review was initiated in 2003 as a four page Newsletter and has grown exponentially to this year’s issue of over 100 pages with nearly 30 submissions. The original hope for the Newsletter was to provide the archaeology community of Newfoundland and Labrador and elsewhere with a brief overview of archaeological activity carried out in the province in the past year. The response from permit holders and researchers has greatly exceeded our expectations. I would like to thank all contributors for their time and effort in writing the articles for this issue. As always, such contributions provide valuable insight into the workings of the archaeology community as a whole. We welcome any comments you may have and encourage continued submission of new ideas for the Review. I trust you will find this issue of interest and wish you continued success in the upcoming year.

Geological Sketch AND Economic Minerals OF THE Province of Quebec CANADA A compilation of information from official sources QUEBEC BUREAU OF MINES Department of Colonization, Mines and Fisheries QUEBEC, Canada. GEOLOGICAL SKETCH OF THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC CANADA ") The Province of Quebec is by far the largest in the Dominion of Canada. Its extreme measurements are 1250 miles from north to south, and 950 miles east and west, and the total surface is only slightly less then 600,000 square miles. It is therefore nearly seven times the size of the kingdom of Great Britain, the area of which is 88,700 square miles, whereas the population of En- gland, Scotland and Wales is almost twenty times that of the Province of Quebec. In such a vast area, so thinly populated, it is unavoidable that detailed geological information should be incomplete. The main lines and the principal features of the geology of the Pro- vince of Quebec have been comparatively well established, by reconnaissance survey methods and explorations, but it is only within the last few years that systematic, detailed work has been • By Théo. C. Denis. 4 GEOLOGICAL SKETCH AND ECONOMIC MINERALS undertaken, to solve local geological problems, mostly of an economic nature. It is therefore to be expected that many changes in the outlines of formations will be made as the field-work and detailed mapping progress, and as the accumulation of additional information permits the correlation of work done in widely separ- ated areas.
