#DFONL advises that the Recreational Groundfish Fishery will be open for a total of 39 days this year. The season starts on July 4th. We encourage all individuals participating to follow public health advice. Further information can be found here: ow.ly/zzoP50zZ8PE

In honour of International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we want to recognize one of our own, Dr. Joanne Morgan. She was the first female scientist to work in the groundfish division at #DFONL and has made incredible contributions to #DFOScience. #WomenInScience

Our #CitizenCod students measured a lot of big cod during this year's Recreational Groundfish fishery. What was the biggest? This 111-cm giant caught in Hant’s Harbour on the last day.

The 2019 Recreational Groundfish fishery will close 1 hour after sunset this evening. Thanks everyone who participated this year! Like to be a #CitizenCod scientist? There's online form you can fill out if you’d like to tell us how you did: ow.ly/zPZ150wtNxi #NLRecFish

#DFONL Fishery Officers visited William Mercer Academy in Dover to discuss the importance of ocean ecosystems & effects of ocean pollution. Students & staff joined them for a beach cleanup at Hare Bay park where they cleaned up a full truckload of garbage. Job well done!

2/4 This is a #DFONL sample of bubble gum coral from a colony where the “trees” are over 3 metres tall. Other corals collected include a giant sea pen (Halipteris finmarchica) 1 metre tall & a large bamboo coral (Keratoiis grayi), 1 metre tall.

Please everyone, take a look. This was “caught” during a fishing survey. Keep plastic out of our oceans. #BeatPlasticPollution xitter.cf/xtinabourne/status/112…

Out this weekend for #NLRecFish? Watch this & learn more about #CitizenCod. You can find our students by looking for their bright orange clothes at designated harbours. #DFONL

1/2 #CitizenCod is back! #DFONL Science is hiring 40 Grade 11 & 12 students interested in biology to sample #NLRecFish cod at 20 wharves & landing sites.

Rollin’ Rollin’ Rollin’ … If you see capelin rolling in your area, let our #DFONL scientists know when & where by using #CapelinRoll2018 or post your photo at ecapelin.ca.

Our #CitizenCod2017 students worked hard this summer during #NLRecFish, collecting data for #DFONL scientists. #ByTheNumbers
