CANADA-ANIMAL-SEAL HUNT
This photo received 20 April 2007 courtesy of the Canadian Coast Guard shows a trapped fishing vessel being rescued 19 April 2007. Severe ice conditions from the Strait of Bell Isle to Cape St. Francis on the east coast of Newfoundland have trapped over 100 longliners in ice. Canadian Coast Guard Ships are on in the area to break ice and provide support to the fishing vessels. Sealers on the F/V Dodd and Sons (back) had to abandon their vessel in the ice and were rescued by the Canadian Coast Guard Service Wilfred Grenfell (front). More than 100 ships carrying commercial seal hunters for Canada's annual harvest have been trapped for days by crushing ice off the coast of Newfoundland province, Canada's Coast Guard said Wednesday. Several mariners had to evacuate their damaged boats while icebreakers smashed through a huge expanse of packed ice to try to reach them. "We have in excess of 100 long liners still at sea ... in very severe ice conditions," Coast Guard superintendent Brian Penney said. AFP PHOTO/CANADIAN COAST GUARD/HO
