The Conservation Council of New Brunswick wants the city and industry to include them in talks about finally building a barge docking facility in Lorneville. Fundy Bay Keeper, David Thompson tells CHSJ news ships coming through would damage lobster gear and possibly force fishermen out of the area.
Thompson says anchorage areas for ships could also be a concern for the marine protected area. Mayor Ivan Court says it's important to get a long-time proposed barge docking facility constructed in the Lorneville area. He says the city may find a way to finance the barge dock on its own if talks for funding with the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency fall through.
