Overview

This book reviews the performance and effectiveness of the Community Development Quotas (CDQ) programmes created as a result of the Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996. The CDQ programme is a method of allocating access to fisheries to eligible communities with the intent of promoting local social and economic conditions through participation in fishing-related activities. The book looks at those Alaskan fisheries experienced with such CDQs for halibut, pollock, sablefish and crab. It comments on the extent to which these programmes have met their objectives -helping communities develop ongoing commercial fishing and processing activities, creating employment opportunities, and providing capital for investment in fishing, processing and support projects such as infrastructure. It also considers how CDQ-type programmes might apply in the Western Pacific.
