Two Bridgewater Men Face Charges For Alleged Fisheries Violations

Two Bridgewater-area men are facing charges after being arrested over the weekend by Department of Fisheries officers near Bush Island.  They're alleged to have been fishing for lobster in the off-season.  DFO officers seized several lobster traps and a small vessel being used by the accused. DFO-Liverpool conservation officer Bill Wolfe says his department and the courts take the charges very seriously. He says lobsters are very vulnerable right now.



The two accused have been released and will appear in Bridgewater court sometime this fall.  The date hasn't been set yet.
