Little history on the Flemish Caps. It's an area that's actually outside of Canada's 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone. It's made up of warm waters from the North Atlantic currents and the cold waters from the Labrador currents. An area once known for it's outstanding swordfish, halibut, scallop and redfish and yellowtail flounder and palice. The area has suffered severe damage due to overfishing.
