An October 2006 meeting held at OECD Headquarters analyzed the social issues and policy changes that arise from fisheries adjustment policies, and examined how OECD member countries are meeting those challenges. The meeting sought to address two questions: How have OECD governments sought to assist unemployed fishers find new employment, develop new skills, and create new employment opportunities in their regions? And, is there sufficient coherence between fisheries management policies and social and labor market adjustment policies in ensuring resilient fishing communities? This proceedings volume contains material from the meeting. Case studies are included from Scotland, Japan, Canada, Australia, and Norway.
