DFO has prepared an accurate list of the Atlantic sharing arrangements. These are not new arrangements but are a compilation of the Atlantic sharing arrangements.
DFO is currently working to develop a list of sharing arrangements for Pacific fisheries. The web site will be updated to publish this list once it is prepared.
