Area 16A

Herring Fishing Area 16A - Map

Map showing the boundary lines of the herring fishing area 16A in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The first point originates near Baie-Trinité, Québec and crosses to a second point which is about halfway between the Gaspé peninsula and Anticosti Island. A straight line is then traced between the second point and a third point to the southeast, further down the Gulf of St. Lawrence. A final line is traced between the third point and a fourth point to the west which is on land, about halfway between Perçé and Gaspé, Québec.
