The AA. examine the perspectives of inshore fish harvesters from Change Islands, Newfoundland. They show that fishers are deeply concerned about ineffective regulations, low prices for their catch, and rationalization policies. They explain how
existing regulations restrict traditional cooperative fishing practices and impose rules that are not suited for local environmental conditions. These conditions, combined with policies aimed at reducing the fishing fleet and barriers to youth involvement
, threaten the long-term survival of coastal communities. They conclude that traditional fishing communities, along with the potential social, cultural, economic, and environmental benefits of smaller-scale, community-based fishing need to become more visible

commercial fishing operation in the region. Despite the many environmental and cultural challenges, the Great Lakes fisheries live on.

, the majority (86%) of the total length was of suitable gradient for fish and could be accessed either by downstream populations or from adjacent lakes. Predicted maximum weekly average stream temperature (MWAT) indicated that the post-LIA study streams were
thermally suitable for cold-water fish. A future scenario of glacier loss would cause a 14% decline in accessible cold-water thermal habitat in post-LIA streams. Decreased summer flows due to glacier retreat could further limit usable habitat by reducing
