Changing Course Back to Small Scale Fishing

Helen Forsey and Barry Darby are the driving force behind “Changing Course”, a “blue justice” initiative designed to restore Atlantic Canada’s fair and equitable commercial fisheries. The two discuss with host Lawrence Gunther why the current system of quotas is insufficient to breath new life into Canada’s coastal communities, and why the catch share initiative is further concentrating control of these fisheries into ever-fewer hands. Changing course returns the focus to who, how, when and where fisheries occur, instead of focussing on maximising efficiencies with the goal of those with the deepest pockets securing the greatest portion of a quota. Listen to Hellen and Barry on the Blue Fish Radio Show and discover how the focus of indigenous, recreational and commercial fisheries might once again share the common goal of ensuring the future of fishing.
