Autrement dit, en bannissant la pêche de fond — les cages, les filets de fond —, l'OPANO a effectivement retiré au Canada le pouvoir exclusif de gérer ces ressources et d'accorder aux pêcheurs canadiens le droit de pêcher le pétoncle et le crabe dans les zones que l'OPANO a fermées sur le plateau continental.
So in other words, by banning bottom-fishing activities, by banning bottom traps—because that's a bottom-fishing activity—banning bottom trawls, NAFO has now effectively shut down the capacity for Canada to manage exclusively and afford the right to Canadian fishermen to fish scallop and crab in the areas that NAFO has now shut down on the continental shelf. We've now lost our jurisdiction.
