Summary
:
Contrary to popular belief, Canadian fisheries industries are not dead. Key stocks are stable or rebuilding, most commercial fisheries are now managed at sustainable catch levels, and global demand for seafood is booming. But a significant challenge exists: to attract and retain enough young people to crew vessels and take over fishing enterprises from retiring baby boomers. In A Future for the Fishery, author Rick Williams, research director for the Canadian Council of Professional Fish Harvesters and former professor of social policy, examines the reality of the fishery as a dynamic economic sector in rural-coastal regions across Canada--regions that desperately need renewal. This timely read alerts industry and government decision-makers to a looming demographic crisis in the fisheries workforce and explores strategies to attract and retain new labour supply. It also shares the perspectives and experiences of fish harvesters themselves--the people with the most at stake in this rapidly changing industry. Features illustrative charts and data tables and a foreword from award-winning author Donald Savoie.
