Translation of "lieu de pêche hauturière " (French → English) :

This is due to the low level of utilisation during the previous protocol, which demonstrates that the distant water fleet has become ever smaller, as evidenced by the negligible size of the Portuguese distant-water fleet.

According to Nunavut’s Minister of Sustainable Development, the Coalition’s long-term objectives are to: develop the capacity of Nunavut fishing interests to harvest the turbot resources in the waters adjacent to Nunavut; develop the credibility of Nunavut fishers in the Atlantic fishing industry; and maximize fisheries development over the next 5-10 years ([33]) According to the BFC itself, its stated objectives are to: undertake exploratory fishing; develop new inshore and emerging fisheries; develop offshore fisheries; recruit and train Inuit for current and new jobs in the offshore fishing industry; invest in a Nunavut fishing ...[+++]vessel; lobby for more access to other fishing quotas, including turbot in 0B; encourage scientific research; and administer the initiative, including preparing Calls for Proposals ([34]) Because Nunavut does not have the harvesting capacity to undertake fishing operations directly, the Coalition’s activities have so far consisted of selling its 0A allocation to non-Nunavut fishing companies – Canadian and foreign – in return for royalty fees and the hiring of a minimum number of Inuit as crew.

In her testimony, she indicated that her company: was 100% Inuit-owned; was involved in a joint venture arrangement with Tri-Nav Ltd., a company based in Newfoundland and Labrador, with fishing experience in the North, including 0A turbot; ([41]) had been provided with access to 45 fishing days for crab in Subarea 0, but had been unable to obtain turbot; and had established a number of goals, including building a viable offshore fishing enterprise through a joint venture to be eventually owned entirely by Nunavummiut, employing them in all areas and at all levels in the enterprise, encouraging them to take a larger role in the offshore ...[+++] fishery, showing by example that Inuit can own and successfully operate such an enterprise, and ensuring that the benefits generated by the fishery remain in Nunavut’s economy.

We can do this by paying greater attention to the members of the Mediterranean-specific industrial tribunals and by stepping up the activities of the Regional Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean, which must be given effective jurisdiction and resources so that it can take action, both in terms of deep sea and inshore fishing.

The new international law of the sea enshrining 200 miles as the exclusive zone for the exploitation of fishing resources by coastal states meant that the Community fleet found itself with excess capacity. This, combined with the increasing scarcity of resources in which the over-exploitation of some fishing grounds has played a part, has brought about a continuous reduction in both the high sea and the small-scale coastal fleet with the consequent loss of jobs, which have declined progressively in almost all countries and areas since the 1980s, as shown in the table annexed.

This compares to about 6,700 tonnes for the offshore, or 10 per cent. The offshore reduction will actually be less than represented here pending the final decision for two of the northern shrimp areas, SFA 2 and SFA 3.
