PEI Tuna Reallocation Update (September 23rd, 2026): As discussed with the PEIFA Tuna Advisory Committee, there will be 35 more tags issued to PEIFA members (#309 to #2 on the draw list inclusively). They will be available for pick up at the DFO Area Office in Charlottetown at 8AM on Thursday, September 24th. Possession of a bluefin tuna tag authorizes participation in the fishery but does not guarantee access to quota.
The fishery will close once the available quota has been harvested. New license conditions should be available in NOLS account the morning of Thursday, September 24. The fishery will re-open at Noon on the 24th.
