Abstract

The workshop titled “Is there a place for youth in fisheries communities? A multiple perspectives discussion” took place on September 30, 2012, between 10 am and noon. It was organised by Nicole Power and was part of the Rebuilding Collapsed Fisheries and Threatened Communities International Symposium held at Norris Point, Newfoundland. The objectives of the workshop were to bring together stakeholder organisations, community representatives, researchers and youth to discuss the place of young people in fisheries communities and to consider multi-and inter- generational strategies for rebuilding fisheries communities. The workshop combined short presentations by CURRA researchers, an international researcher and the executive director of the Professional Fish Harvesters Certification Board (PFHCB) and a roundtable discussion. Other participants included local youth and community members, graduate students, researchers, and a representative from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. This report aims to summarise and synthesize the discussion that took place.
