Sea fisheries management: the Shetland position

John Goodlad

Marine Policy, 1993, vol. 17, issue 5, 350-351

Abstract: This article describes the importance of the seafood industry to the Shetland economy. The seafood industry employs nearly 25% of Shetland's total workforce and has an annual turnover of almost £80 million. The article recognizes that the principle of quota trading will become more and more important in future. There is support for the principle of quota trading, provided this is undertaken by fish producer organizations. The article also examines the Shetland proposal for 'ring fencing' quota purchases by producer organizations.
