You said earlier that you still have good communications with certain Indigenous groups, whose focus is on preserving the resource, just as yours is. The basis for greater harmony between harvesters could therefore rely on clear definitions of livelihood fisheries, for example. Such definitions could include examples or tonnage limits.
Could you tell us what a better definition would be built on?
