Description

Abstract: This research was conducted as a pilot study of effort shift among fishers following the implementation of the Marine Reserve at Cape Falcon, which was closed to fishing on January 1, 2016. The research included nine interviews with fishers and people closely involved with the fishing community, informal conversations with other residents in the town of Garibaldi, and interviews with non-fishers involved in the marine reserve community meetings. Critical findings from this research include that there will be minimal economic impact of the Marine Reserve at Cape Falcon on commercial fishing; that fishers are concerned about the reserve being a stepping stone to future reserve protection plans; and that fishers are ultimately concerned about a reorganization of the economy of the coast away from fishing communities and value systems.
