The Honourable Geoff Regan, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), today announced his decision to stabilize existing sharing arrangements in 88 of 98 Atlantic fisheries for a period of up to five years where shares are stable.
This announcement builds on the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans' March 2004 announcement, in which the access and allocation components of most Atlantic management plans were stabilized for one year. It is also the next natural step since the March 2004 release of the Atlantic Fisheries Policy Framework committed to moving towards more stable and durable access and allocation.
