• Sincere condolences for Sealers lost at sea

April 1, 2008 - The members of the Maritime Fishermen’s Union (MFU) would like to express our sincere condolences to the families of the 4 fishermen recently lost to the sea and to your whole community. The Maritime Fishermen’s Union is made up of over 1400 fishermen and has members in Cape Breton, NS who are involved in the seal fishery.

As fishermen we realize our communities are built around the sea and we understand the dangers involved as we depend on the sea for our livelihood. When lives are lost at sea it affects the whole community. We want you to know that you are not alone in your shock and disbelief over this tragedy. Fishermen and fishing communities understand and accept the risks that are involved in our way of life but that doesn’t ever take the hurts and disbelief away from losing one of our own. Your loss is immense and we share your grief.

Sincerely,
 

Members & staff of the Maritime Fishermen’s Union (MFU)
