Over the last three decades or so we've seen, across the board, a decline in harvest volume of more than a third for all species categories. That's for a range of reasons, from conservation to changing markets, and it's been particularly extreme in the north, with salmon and herring, where you've seen an 80% decline in both volume and value. Clearly, if you have fewer fish, you will have not as many fish harvesters, so what we're seeing, in many respects, is as a result of that decline in volume.
Initiatives like the northern shelf bioregion MPA network will only add to that, with massive loss of access in sustainable fisheries, and that will reduce investment. It will reduce the shoreside support services for indigenous communities and non-indigenous communities alike.
