We are fishermen, learning to Tweet, working together for a sustainable way of life. Our fisheries employ more than 2000 direct jobs here in SW New Brunswick.

On behalf of everyone at Fundy North Fishermen's Association we want to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Laurence. His passion for the fishery was as strong as we have ever seen and he will be missed by many. https://t.co/Pm1GZe6ktb
