Abstract

Since the late 1960s, Fogo Island, on the northeast coast of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, has been the site of a remarkably successful fishing co-operative which serves six island communities, home to over 2,500 people. Over the years, the Fogo Island Co-operative has made it possible for people to continue to live on the island, depending on the inshore and nearshore fisheries for income and employment.
