British Columbia Canada fisheries and Big Money

Tyee's important story
If the whole issue of privatization of fisheries I covered in my book Rough Waters seems too specialized a problem, read this article from the B.C. paper The Tyee, 1/11/16, which explains it clearly and more briefly, and shows how their fisheries now include takeovers by foreign interests.
The US versions are not exactly the same, (our halibut IFQ is more fair) but the privatization philosophy and policy are from the same book. Take a look at Tyee and see what is happening to small-scale fisheries and their communities on all coasts!
