ATLANTIC GROUNDFISH COUNCIL

The Atlantic Groundfish Council represents year-round groundfish harvesters in Atlantic Canada. We are committed to a balanced, sustainable groundfish industry that puts the responsible management of the resource first and foremost. Whether they be based in Lunenburg, NS or Arnold's Cove, NL, our members believe the future of tomorrow is based on the decisions we make today. We recognize that continued innovation, value positioning and investment requires a stable policy and business environment. This combination of sustainability, value and stability generates economic opportunities and supports rural communities and people living throughout Atlantic Canada... Since its inception in 1997, the Atlantic Groundfish Council (formerly known as the Groundfish Enterprise Allocation Council), has evolved to be a leader in the fishing industry. We work to improve fisheries of today and tomorrow by contributing to fisheries research and policy development that will improve the sustainability..
