A Policy Framework for the Management of
Fisheries on Canada’s Atlantic Coast is the first comprehensive blueprint to
guide fisheries management. It is the culmination of fisheries renewal efforts
started under the first phase of the Atlantic Fisheries Policy Review (AFPR).
The AFPR is a collaborative process with a broad citizen-engagement approach,
through which advice and feedback are continuously sought from fish harvesters,
processors and industry representatives; the governments of the Atlantic
provinces, Quebec and Nunavut; Aboriginal groups; community representatives;
environmental groups; academics and other interested individuals. The AFPR is
being completed in two phases: Phase I delivers a long-term policy framework,
and Phase II establishes priorities and implements elements from the policy
framework.
