The St Anthony – Port au Choix Regional Council has been tasked with providing advice to government on matters of importance to the region. The fishery is the biggest economic driver and employer in the region. With over 1,300 fish harvesters and more than 600 fish plant workers, the region is the most fishery dependent in the province. As with any industry, it has many challenges and also many differing views among the user groups. Oftentimes, the voices of those directly involved are not heard. Therefore, researchers from Memorial University partnered with the Rural Secretariat Regional Council, which is tasked with providing advice on this area, in attempt engage the fisher people directly involved in the industry to determine what they see as the future of the fishery in the region, including challenges, opportunities, and potential new directions.
