Two individuals from Nova Scotia have been arrested following the confiscation of crates containing live lobsters in New Brunswick. The arrest came after New Brunswick’s Department of Natural Resources received a tip about illegal lobster fishing in the area. The seized lobsters, estimated to be worth thousands of dollars, were examined by the Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The arrests highlight the ongoing issue of illegal fishing activities, particularly in the lucrative lobster industry. Provinces like Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have been working to combat this problem and protect their vital fishing resources..
