Inshore fishing interests on the Atlantic coast: Their response to extended jurisdiction by Canada

R. D. S. Macdonald

Marine Policy, 1979, vol. 3, issue 3, 171-189

Abstract: Atlantic Canada has many small fishing communities where the patterns of fisheries are extremely variable and incomes are generally very low. Federal and provincial governments and fish processing corporations play a pervasive role in a complex set of conflicts and relationships between the different interest groups among the fishermen. This article demonstrates how inshore/nearshore fisheries developed, before and after extended jurisdiction, in relation to developing government policies. Patterns of behaviour so far registered raise questions about alternative consultative frameworks and tenure systems, and associated systems of representation.
