When I am not helping people with their licencing issues, I like to do a bit of hiking. This is what I saw on my morning hike to Lower Head in Twillingate today.

Appeal Process

If your license wasn't renewed last year, you'll need to go through an appeal process to get it back. I have vast experience with DFO licensing and can definitely help you with that.

Is your VHF-DSC radio programmed and ready to use?

When the fishing vessel Sarah Anne (M20A0160) capsized suddenly, no distress signal was received. The vessel had a VHF-DSC radio, but it wasn’t programmed with a Maritime Mobile Service Identity (aka MMSI), so it couldn’t send a DSC alert.

In an emergency, crews may only have seconds. Making sure emergency equipment is properly set up and that crews know how to activate it can make a critical difference.

Decisions made at the dock shape what happens at sea—let’s make sure everyone makes it home this season.
