Book Description

The Task Force has attempted to describe the Atlantic fishery, to set out its problems, and to recommend ways to break the cycle of overdependence, excessive pressure on a finite resource, and overcapacity in both harvesting and processing, which ultimately results in chronically low and unstable incomes. This volume provides the narrative summarizing the examination, analyses and findings and setting out recommendations. The technical basis of the work is set out in summary form in the annex, and background papers are to be published separately.
