Dawn breaks as fishers enter Pictou Harbour to form a blockade with their boats on November 19, 2018 to keep a survey boat commissioned by Northern Pulp from leaving the harbour to gather information for building the proposed effluent pipe into fishing grounds in the Northumberland Straight.
Northern Pulp is in the midst of conducting an environmental assessment on its effluent pipe plan . The company has tried over the past several months, through community open houses and talks with fishermen, to reassure those concerned, but most believe they are not to be trusted and the risk is too great.
