Book excerpt: In April 1988 a major in-depth study of the Scotia-Fundy lobster fishery was announced by the federal government to review all the major issues facing the industry and address the long-term social and economic viability of the fishery and of the communities which depend on it. The study would include the biological, licensing, management, marketing, and enforcements aspects. This study contains a comprehensive overview of the fishery, emphasizing recent developments. It examines the community base in which the fishery takes place and analyzes the resource according to current scientific understanding. It examines the harvesting, processing and marketing components and describes the DFO management regime and its related costs. On the basis of an extensive consultative process, with generally good participation by the industry, it presents the current views and concerns of fishermen on issues they consider of primary importance.
