Those attitudes would slowly fade away by sitting at the same table talking about one another's fisheries and core needs. A lot of what people in our community think is wrong about what other stakeholders say about us generally has origin in their lack of real understanding of the facts around the public fishery and vice versa us about their fishery. For example, some comments about poor or no catch monitoring of FSC fisheries say a lot about what our sector doesn't know about how FSC fisheries are monitored....sitting in meetings with FN's communities we learned that they use the exact same methodology as we use to monitor our catch and effort. Are there bad actors....yes, but I challenge anyone in our sector to show that there are not also bad actors amoung us.
Thanks good perspective and agree.
