The award was presented by Department of Fisheries Development Officer Tom McEachreon to Fundy North members Roger Hunter, John McDade and David Thompson.
This project was funded by Canaport LNG through Department of Fisheries and Ocean's Harmful Alteration and Disruption or Destruction (HADD) program, as compensation for the damage to the seafloor with the construction of the LNG pier in Mispec.
The award was the first of its kind to be granted by the council which is comprised of five Gulf of Maine jurisdictions, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.
