FISHING UPDATE No. 1



An occasional publication from Sherkin Comment. A 32-page tabloid newspaper on Canada's East Coast fisheries problems in 1995. Matt Murphy visited Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, Canada, in April 1995. The visit was prompted by the Canadian/Spanish fishing dispute over turbot in Spring 1995. The publication's importance is summed up in a letter from Mr. Joe McGough, formerly the Director of Communications, Scotia-Fundy Region, Fisheries and Oceans, Canada:

 

30th May 1995

Dear Matt,

This is to congratulate you on the Fishing Update dealing with Canada's Atlantic fisheries crisis and the turbot dispute.

No one in Canada has done anywhere near as fine a job on this complex subject. In a short time, you have researched all the major dimensions, crystallized the key points, made everything highly readable, and pointed the way to better future directions.

We are making wide distribution of your update to opinion leaders, where it can only be good.

Yours truly,

 

 

Joseph Gough
Director of Communications
Scotia-Fundy Region
