In my opinion, NAFO is more effective now. Countries have learned that they need to change their behaviour as far as fisheries management is concerned. In the past, Spain, the other countries and even Canada continued to fish a much too high volume of fish, even if there had been changes in the environment. For example, there were changes in the productivity of cod. The cod population changed, and was greatly diminished. And yet we did not change our habits.
It is clear that we have to find a new way of managing the fishery. All of the countries agreed on this and changed the way they issued fishing permits in the NAFO zone. That is why NAFO is more effective today, compared with the 1980s and 1990s.
