Concerns have been raised by the Grand Manan Fisherman's Association to local MLA Rick Doucet about the potential loss of lobster licenses.
A temporary freeze on interprovincial license transfers between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia has been lifted.
The GMFA has sent a letter to Fisheries and Oceans Minister Keith Ashfield asking for the freeze to give time to address concerns.
Doucet supports it.
He says "the island's economy is heavily dependent on this industry, this is their livelihood."
