Norwegian ships disrupt Labrador seal hunt
Ottawa Fisheries Minister Jack Davis said Norwegian seal-hunt vessels create difficulties off Labrador as an icebreaking protection ship was sent to arrest any Norwegians inside Canadian waters.14 Norwegian and six Canadian ships were in the Labrador Front to take pups in poor weather. A Norwegian vessel was seen inside territorial waters near Hamilton Inlet last Saturday. The icebreaker Sir Humphrey Gilbert and a helicopter were dispatched from St John’s to Hamilton Inlet with orders to arrest the vessel if found inside waters. Low visibility and heavy ice hindered protection efforts. The Gulf hunt was cut to 35,000 pups from 50,000 due to a smaller seal population, with adult females down to about 250,000 from 750,000–1,000,000.
