Stanfield International Airport has added 17-thousand square feet of cargo loading space to accommodate shipments of live Nova Scotia lobsters around the world. The 5-Million-dollar project to add space will help meet growing demands in Europe and Asia. The Airport Authority says they expect to ship more than 15-million dollars worth of live lobster in the month of December. Last year shipments from the Halifax airport totaled more than 149-million-dollars worth of lobster.

Dead Herring in NS Continue to Baffle Scientists
Schools of Dead Herring continue to wash ashore in South Western Nova Scotia and scientists still have no idea why. Officials with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans say numerous tests on the fish have failed to identify any viruses or disease that could explain the thousands of dead fish. Surveillance of the area also seems to rule out the idea that predators may have chased the fish ashore. More tests looking for such things as Algea toxins are currently being conducted.
