Abstract

Sustainable fisheries are hard to find. Even harder to find are communities that take full responsibility for their own resources. Fishermen in Eastport Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada have begun a comprehensive conservation initiative to increase and preserve the Lobster resource upon which they depend. The initiative, including measures to increase egg production, also explores the efficacy of no-take reserves. The initiative is working and spreading to other communities. Peer-reviewed article accepted for publication on 11 February 2002.
