43:07Now PlayingLobster fishing is a billion-dollar industry on the East Coast, but who gets to trap — and when — is tearing some communities apart. We look at why the federal government is being blamed for doing too little to ease tensions.
CORRECTION (Nov. 28, 2025): An earlier version of this documentary said that Maureen Googoo covered the 2020 launch of the Mi’kmaw rights-based fishery for APTN. In fact, she covered it for Ku’ku’kwes News. This video has been edited to remove that reference.
