| Canadian Association of Prawn Producers | The Canadian Association of Prawn Producers ("CAPP"), representing frozen-at-sea ("FAS") shrimp licence-holders, opposes in the strongest terms any changes to the application of the threshold quotas and the LIFO provisions set out in the 1997 Management Plan. LIFO has been the blueprint to share the benefits from the surplus as abundance expanded and remove participants each year since 2010 as the resource contracted. plus... |

| Glen Ransom | Lower North Shore Fishermen’s Association (LNSFA) | We are addressing the Ministerial Advisory Panel (MAP) to request that the Last In, First Out (LIFO) policy for the access in northern shrimp be abolished. The Lower North Shore Fishermen’s Association (LNSFA) represents the fishers on the Lower North Shore of Quebec with this file. Our organization is also requesting that the sharing of the southern areas for northern shrimp, which includes SFA 6 should include the inshore fleets with fishers living in coastal communities with a strong attachment to the groundfish fishery. Fishers and coastal communities depending on marine resources with an historical attachment linked to the concerned fishing areas should be fully recognized as permanent participants. plus... |

| William Short | I write this letter in response to the recent controversy over the Last in First out (LIFO) policy. While I sincerely empathize with any individual or community experiencing loss or the potential of loss, I cannot allow my empathy to distract me from what is reality and what is fact. I do not wish my words to bring harm or ill- fate to any fellow Newfoundlander but I feel I have an obligation to speak out and correct any erroneous statements and comments. Thus my correspondence is merely a reminder of the facts and, hopefully, a clarification of the misinformation that has recently been widespread by the media and by other fishing industry parties who wish to distort facts in an effort to cast a shadow over the offshore shrimp industry in favour of the inshore sector. plus... |

| Fogo Island Cooperative Society (FIC) | The Fogo Island Cooperative Society (FIC) is in a unique position to discuss LIFO and its effect on inshore harvesters and communities. As a community based processing operation its members are reliant on the plant jobs that it provides. Moreover, its owners (the harvesters) rely on the co‐op to purchase their catch. Finally, the FIC has felt firsthand the effects of the LIFO principle through the elimination of its special offshore allocation, which has been used to help support the business. plus... |

| Nadine Decker, Chairperson | Gander - New-Wes-Valley Regional Council of the Rural Secretariat | The fishery within this province, although complex, is critical to the viability of our coastal communities and region as a whole. In the past couple of years there have been significant developments regarding the Northern Shrimp Fishery. The shrimp fishery quota reductions, and the potential for more, have negatively impacted local enterprises and threaten some of our coastal communities. Please find attached a position paper (PDF 109 Ko) Northern Shrimp Fishery Quota Allocation describing, to the best of our knowledge, some historical context to the shrimp fishery and suggestions on the application and interpretation of policies governing this resource. plus... |

| Labrador Fishermen’s Union Shrimp Company Limited (LFUSCL) | The plan developed for the expansion of the Northern Shrimp Fishery in 1997 was the result of consultations and careful planning in an attempt to recognize the importance of all stakeholders. This plan specified clear principles on how future allocations would be shared and at the same time offered protection to the existing seventeen licence holders. This protection was recognition for the work and effort these licence holders had expended to develop the Northern Shrimp Fishery. plus... |

| Government of Nova Scotia | Seafood is a critical part of Nova Scotia’s economy and is our highest export product by value. The livelihood of thousands of Nova Scotians depends on the harvest, processing, and export of seafood products. It is a core component of our rural coastal economy. Shrimp is an important part of our fishery. Nova Scotia reports the second highest shrimp landings in Canada. Nova Scotia license holders employ hundreds of year-round, well-paying jobs, investing in millions of dollars in onshore infrastructure in the form of processing facilities and logistics. plus... |

It initially provides some background on the previous and current involvement of Nunavut fishing enterprises in the Northern Shrimp fishery, including the growing importance of this fishery, the significant associated investments being made by fishers, and the resulting adverse implications of any continuation of the LIFO policy. plus... |

| Makivik Corporation | In 2010, in response to scientific research that indicated that shrimp stocks were declining in southern Shrimp Fishing Area (SFA) of the Northern shrimp fishery, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) imposed Total Allowable Catch (TAC) reductions to ensure the protection of the fishery. To determine how this reduction would be applied to the fishery, DFO implemented the “Last In - First Out” (LIFO) policy. According to LIFO principles, should TAC levels fall to a specified threshold within a fishery, the most recent entrants to that fishery should be first to leave. As a result of the application of the LIFO policy by the Minister, these actions have resulted in a near halving of the inshore fleet’s peak allocation of 76,000t. plus... |

| Lyndon Small, President | Newfoundland and Labrador Independent Fish Harvesters Association | The purpose of this document is to present the opposition of the Newfoundland and Labrador Independent Fish Harvesters Association (NLIFHA) to the Last‐in‐First‐Out (LIFO) principle as it relates to the northern shrimp fishery. Our organization represents enterprise owners in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) Division 3K with vessels greater than 40’ length overall. Our harvesters have significant interests in one of the most important shrimp fishing grounds in Canada (Shrimp Fishing Area 6). The application of LIFO has had direct ramifications to our harvesters, resulting in significant quota declines. For instance, from 2012 to 2015, our share of the Area 6 quota has declined by almost
18%, from 13,400MT to 11,009MT. Over the same time period, the offshore allocation in Area 6 has declined by less than 9% from 18,145MT to 16,559MT. plus... |

I expect that our work will be informed by performance measurement, evidence, and feedback from Canadians. We will direct our resources to those initiatives that are having the greatest, positive impact on the lives of Canadians, and that will allow us to meet our commitments to them. I expect you to report regularly on your progress toward fulfilling our commitments and to help develop effective measures that assess the impact of the organizations for which you are answerable.” plus... |
