To Community members who are participating under the AFS, we have been notified.
DFO has been advised that the current water temperature in the St. John River is above 23 degrees Celsius. This water temperature is a serious danger to the salmon. As per the striped bass section of the New Brunswick Aboriginal Peoples Council's Food, Social and Ceremonial licence, once the water reaches a temperature exceeding 22 degrees Celsius, all fishing activity must stop.
