Lit by a headlamp, Jay Pennell checks his net for his catch while dipping for glass eels on the Gold River near Wasoqopa’q First Nation's Gold River reserve on the South Shore of Nova Scotia on Friday, April 25 2025. Pennell is a legal Mi'kmaq elver fisher operating in co-operation with the DFO system that transferred half the elver quota to Indigenous groups this fishing season.
