Regulations

A valid New Brunswick fishing licence is required to fish anywhere on this page; saltwater fishing in the bays and gulf falls under federal Fisheries and Oceans Canada rules instead. Protected natural areas permit hiking and low-impact fishing but restrict camping and motorized access, and the coastal dunes and sandspits are fragile, so stay on marked paths.
