Unfortunately, further fishing activity has caused additional damage to the subsea cable.
Yesterday, after completing all identified repairs, crews discovered additional damage with fishing gear in the direct area of the break. We are now working on our next steps to repair this damaged section of cable.
We have identified some of the crab traps and associated fishing vessels responsible for damaging our line and are taking action against those causing harm to this critical infrastructure. Notably, it appears that the perpetrators of this damage are all non-Haida Gwaii-based fishing operators who are not directly affected by this service disruption.

Our team has been making steady progress with repair efforts over the past few days, despite challenging marine conditions. Further repair work is planned for later this week in the Hecate Strait, weather permitting.
Please note that conditions in the Hecate Strait, where the repair team is focused, remain challenging. As this is in open water without shelter, the conditions there are generally quite different than near the shores of Haida Gwaii, especially during storm season.

We are closely monitoring the weather forecast and waiting on a safe window.
The location of the fibre break is in the middle of the Hecate Strait, a large distance from Tlell. The location of the break, along with the unsafe storm conditions within the Hecate Strait, have made repairs unsafe.
We are hopeful for a safe weather window soon.
