Both currently and historically, the fishing and fish processing
industries are major employers in the Morell area. Together, lobster and
mussels make up 99% of the total value of landings at Red Head Harbour.
The Morell River is one of the best Island rivers for Atlantic
salmon fishing and other types of sport fishing. Tourism is also
important with beautiful beaches, a very scenic coastline and great
golfing nearby at The Links at Crowbrush Cove.
