| Notes | Fewer younger people are entering the commercial fishing industry, and the result is that the average age of commercial fishers is increasing. Obstacles to entry of younger persons include expensive fishing rights, few entry-level positions in the industry, and social issues such as drug and alcohol abuse. In this paper, the authors examine two coastal communities of different size, location and economic diversity to understand this phenomenon. Drivers of change and potential impacts of losses of fishing businesses are explored. |
