Forums-Fisheries Co-Management: Can Fishermen Manage Themselves? (Forum
Report and Fisheries Co-Management information booklet) January
1998.
The Marine Environmental Research Institute, in cooperation with the
Gulf of Maine Council on the Marine Environment sponsored a series of
three Coastal Awareness Forums during the Fall, 1997 on the following
topics: Marine Debris: How Can We Stop Trashing Our Coastline? Claming:
Can the Fishery Be Restored? and Co-management: Can Fishermen Manage Themselves?
This series of Coastal Awareness Forums was patterned after the model
of the National Issues Forums to encourage public dialogue about coastal
Issues of pressing concern. Each issue book, in conjunction with the forum,
offered the public an opportunity to deliberate alternative choices, with
the intent that participants identify a common ground for action. The
proceedings of the third forum entitled Fisheries Co-Management: Can Fishermen
Manage Themselves? are summarized in this report. This resource documents
the proceedings of this forum by presenting the welcome remarks, panelist
presentations, community discussion, forum wrap-up, and forum participants
from the forum.
