Meeting Follow-Up

Photo: Maureen Woodrow and two core Newfoundland fish harvesters from Change Islands, Alvin Richards and Stephen Brinson, attending the International Professional Inshore and Small Scale Fishers Meeting held in Biarritz, France from the 25 to the 27 November 2009. The three were among the many delegates from France, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Iceland, and Faroe Islands who attended meeting. Please click here to view the Meeting Summary Document.


One of the key aims of the meeting was to discuss the importance of the inshore fishery and the contribution that inshore fishing makes to the sustainability of coastal communities. Maureen and Stephen made a presentation of the fishery on Change islands to the International meeting.
