Abstract
In
Atlantic
Canada
fishing
has been an
essential
provider
of
food
and
employment
for
centuries.
The
development
of
engine
power
and
more
efficient
fishing
techniques
made
it
possible
to
fish
in
previously
inaccessible
areas
and to
improve
harvest
levels
,
leading
to
destructive
effects
on the
marine
ecosystem.
Overexploitation
,
bycatch
and
subsequent
discards
are the
side
effects
of
fishing
on the
ecosystem.
These
combined
with
ghost
fishing
have
all
led
to
depletion
of
fish
stocks
and
destruction
of
fish
habitat.
Recently
there have been
attempts
to
reverse
this
damage
to the
marine
environment
and to
prevent
further
destruction.
There have been
many
influences
on these
attempts
to
develop
environmentally
friendly
harvesting
techniques.
Environmental
groups
, the
media
, the
general
public
,
markets
,
fish
harvesters
and
governments
have
all
played
a
role
in
responsible
harvesting
developments.
Fishing
gear
modifications
have
led
to
improved
gear
selectivity
and a
reduction
in
damage
to the
seabed.
Efforts
have been
made
to
retrieve
lost
fishing
gear
and to
prevent
the
loss
of
gear
in the
future.
Regulations
have been
put
in
place
to
ensure
that
responsible
harvesting
techniques
are
used
and that
mistakes
from the
fishery
of the
past
are not
repeated.
Despite
the
initial
costs
associated
with
improving
fishing
gear
, the
benefits
far
outweigh
the
costs
,
improving
the
quality
and
landed
value
of
catches
as
well
as
ensuring
a
sustainable
fishery
for
future
generations.
