| Abstract: |
Its work was grounded in diverse existing governance objectives for fisheries apparent in a range of policy commitments and legal obligations.[42] Results This section presents results from the retrospective analysis with a focus on governing principles for NL's small-scale fisheries. The year 2022 is the 30th anniversary of the first moratorium on Northern cod in Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) areas 2J3KL off Newfoundland's northeast coast and the southern coast of Labrador.[2] The moratorium was one major regulatory intervention in a series of Northern cod and other groundfish quota reductions and moratoria that intensified fisheries restructuring processes for Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) and Atlantic Canada's small-scale fisheries.[3] In the wake of those interventions, the federal government expanded access and allocations for some fisheries, such as snow crab and Northern shrimp, in waters around NL.[4] Taken together, in the years following the moratoria, several changes have taken place in the federally-led restructuring of commercial fisheries and their governance in order to address groundfish stock collapses and support their rebuilding, as well as to deal with new challenges in shellfish fisheries related to access and quotas. 29 I Atlantic Fishery Regulations i , 1985, SOR/86-21; J.
