Canadian ports closed to vessels from Greenland and Faroe Islands who are ignoring catch quotas
BY RANDY BOSWELL, CANWEST NEWS SERVICEFEBRUARY 16, 2010
Canada followed through Monday on a threat to close East Coast ports to fishing vessels from Greenland and the Faroe Islands after the Danish territories failed to agree to a 334-tonne shrimp quota in international waters off the Newfoundland coast.
The Danish-flagged fleets, objecting to the strict catch limits imposed last fall by the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization for the "3L" zone just beyond Canadian waters, had unilaterally set a 3,100-tonne Danish quota for northern shrimp.
