It includes a summary of the messages conveyed to the Panel during its consultations, a description of three specific decisions about access taken in recent years and an account of progress toward co-management. The report also describes how access to fisheries, including among Aboriginal peoples, is governed in a number of other jurisdictions. The Panel’s conclusions concerning access criteria and the decision-making process is also discussed.
