The federal government is walking back a surprise decision that would forbid the sale of spot prawns frozen at sea, but fishers are still pushing for a full retraction of the policy. On Tuesday, the government announced fishers will be allowed to freeze prawns at sea for the upcoming season, but offered no guarantees for the future. Fishers say this isn’t enough, and are pushing for more clarity on a policy they say would damage their livelihoods. In early March, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) announced a change to regulations that would make the sale of frozen-at-sea spot prawns illegal, sending shock waves through the industry.
