Fishing industry says fuel catastrophe is looming (Canada)

With some forecasting a catastrophic outcome, local fisheries representatives from southwestern Nova Scotia have approached the provincial government, asking it to carry out a study on the impact of rising fuel costs on the fishing industry.
