Coalition calls for major fisheries reform

摘要

Petitioning for access: A broad group of organizations ranging from the Canadian Independent Fish Harvesters' Federation to the T. Buck Suzuki Environmental Foundation to Ecotrust Canada and community-supported fisheries is circulating a petition calling for major fisheries policy reform on Canada's west coast.The group argues British Columbia fisheries are being managed using policies that result in the privatization of access to the fish with public resources now managed for the benefit of private investors and, increasingly, multinational companies.
