Without any consultation or notice and a few short months before the beginning of the spot prawn season, the DFO has made the sale of frozen-at-sea spot prawns illegal, effectively stopping the sale of all frozen spot-prawns to Canadian markets. Members of the industry are asking for public support in challenging the decision, supporting BC harvesters, and giving consumers the ability to continue the movement to access Canadian prawns and eat locally.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-4-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"47236\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/bc-spot-prawn\/image-4-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-4-1.jpg?fit=1000%2C1000&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1000,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"BC Spot Prawn\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-4-1.jpg?fit=788%2C788&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47236\" title=\"BC Spot Prawn\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-4-1.jpg?resize=788%2C788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"BC Spot Prawn\" width=\"788\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-4-1.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-4-1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-4-1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-4-1.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-4-1.jpg?resize=250%2C250&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-4-1.jpg?resize=40%2C40&amp;ssl=1 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This ruling adds unsurmountable challenges to an already challenged industry. Thrown into chaos by the pandemic, the global export markets for spot-prawns all but disappeared overnight and the price paid to harvesters<br \/>\nin 2020 plummeted by over 50% from the previous year. Harvesters turned to and invested heavily in domestic<br \/>\nand direct-to-consumer sales of flash-frozen spot prawns to help save their seasons and cover off their enormous<br \/>\ndebts.
