Methods of Fishing in Canada In ShoreOff Shore ➔ small boats with limited gear, self-employed ➔ 85% of fishers but just 10% of fish ➔ day trips only, no trips during bad weather ➔ low income ➔ lobster, shrimp, clam, cod, and haddock ➔ large ships with variety of gear, company owned ➔ 15% of fishers but 90% of fish ➔ out for two weeks or more at a time, in any weather ➔ reasonable income ➔ harvest cod, sole, halibut, redfish, flounder

12. Economic Sustainability: Collapse of Canada’s Fisheries

13. Collapse of Cod: 1992 CAUSES: ❖ Overfishing (we caught too much too quickly!) ❖ Illegal fishing done by foreign boats (foreign=from other countries) ❖ The government failed to intervene in time IMPACTS: ❖ 35,000+ people lost their jobs ❖ The government finally placed a moratorium on cod fishing in 1992 RECOVERY: ❖ Since 1992, fish stocks have begun recovering, but still a long way to go!
