Access 



One of the objectives of the Agreement is to preserve 

 traditional fishing patterns in order to minimize adverse 

 socio-economic impacts on either side. Consistent with this 

 objective, there is no portion of the U.S. zone to which 

 Canadian fishermen have access under the Agreement which has 

 not been traditionally fished by Canadian fishermen. Except 

 for Loligo squid, there is no portion of the Canadian zone 

 to which U.S. fishermen have access under the Agreement 

 which has not been traditionally fished by U.S. fishermen.
