Rockfish Conservation Area 17

It was noted in a previous posting on eSPOKES on October 21 that Preedy Harbour is in a "rockfish preserve". I was not aware of this until it was mentioned in the post about a possible aquaculture operation in the harbour.
In fact the whole of Preedy Harbour and much of the surrounding waters of Stuart Channel are well within the Rockfish Conservation Area 17, as outlined in the following link to a government of Canada website.
