	Burnt Church News-2001/05/02-Telegraph Journal
		The spring season in Lobster Fishing Area 23 - the area from Escuminac to Dalhousie - officially opened on Monday morning but ice prevented about 200 boats, mostly in Miramichi Bay, from getting out of their harbours.
		The captains of about 116 boats from Baie-Ste-Anne, Escuminac and Point Sapin on the south side of the bay agreed to stay ashore on Monday because they worried about a large mass of ice further up in Bay du Vin, particularly that it might move down the bay and destroy lobster gear.
		However, they felt the danger past by Tuesday morning and put to sea and set their traps.

		t was back on June 19th, 1959 when 35 fishermen from Escuminac, on Miramichi Bay, died, as a result of a sudden storm that moved into the area without warning.
		Back then it was still a staffed lightstation but there was little the keeper could do to help the fishermen except keep the light going as best he could and alert the authorities.
		But with an automated station their remote monitoring can only give them a brief synopsis of what may be wrong, when the repair crew finally gets out there a ship could have come into trouble and sunk.

		Any other year I would have opted for Escuminac, a fishing village on the opposite side of the bay, to enjoy their fine beach and discuss with relatives the obscene opulence of a mansion overlooking the beach, home to the owner of the local lobster processing plant.
		It's obvious the non-native fishermen enjoy the lion's share of the industry and the Burnt Church fishery is about as threatening to them as a mouse to a cat.
		Judging from their recent strong-arm tactics during which a couple of native boats were sunk, I think DFO is getting desperate and are afraid of triggering another Oka.

		Blaming this trend entirely on "global warming" is unfortunately reminiscent of the excuses that we have always made for the disappearance of marine species over the years.
		Blaming the damage on "global warming" is another way for fishery managers to say "there’s nothing that we can do about it." FISHING is now clearly implicated in this global disaster.
		It’s time to face up to the reality of the extent to which this activity of ours has contributed to the utter ruin of the ocean.

		The line we are asking for (exclusion of seiners from the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence zone) extends from our box to North Cape to Escuminac (as per map presented: see Appendix E).
		All point to the same essential reason - over fishing by technologically advanced industrial fishing fleets operating on industrial values of depletion without sustainability - what the industry terms "biomass extraction".
		It is to prevent a disaster such as this, that inshore fishermen on Prince Edward Island, will put their lives on the line to save the herring stock for future generations.
