Members of Listuguj First Nation hope a new fisheries agreement with the federal government will result in greater local control and economic growth. It could open the door for additional fisheries access through licences and modified quotas, including the possible establishment of a moderate livelihood fishery. Listuguj Chief Darcy Gray said the framework is a "huge step forward" after holding talks with the federal government over the past 4½ years. Darcy Gray is chief of Listuguj First Nation in Quebec. For the past two seasons, Listuguj has had its own lobster management plan in place to guide the fishery, with a focus on conservation.
