The Sipekne katik First Nation in Nova Scotia says it will delay the launch of an out-of-season self-regulated moderate livelihood lobster fishery planned for southwest Nova Scotia next week.

Instead, Indigenous harvesters will fish for lobster in St. Marys Bay in June under communal food, social and ceremonial (FSC) licences, which do not have commercial season restrictions. The licences are government authorized, but come with lower trap limits than what Sipekne katik issued for the fishery it held last fall outside of federal regulations.
