If we really want to implement an ecosystem approach and see fishers and the communities that depend on them as part of the ecosystem, the answer is yes. That's what we asked for, by the way, and we weren't the only ones. The Fédération régionale acadienne des pêcheurs professionnels, FRAPP, and the Fish, Food and Allied Workers Union, the FFAW, also asked for this.
We all agreed that DFO scientists had clearly demonstrated the effect of shrimp predation by redfish. They even said that redfish had eaten up to 200,000 tonnes of shrimp. It would have made sense for those who were hit hardest by the arrival of redfish to have a better chance of getting fishing quotas that would have enabled them to get by in the medium term.
