The PB/GB LOMA is an integrated management initiative which is being implemented under Canada's Oceans Act. The research has shown that many stakeholders are participating in the PB/GB LOMA process as they see its potential benefits. However, progression is limited by a lack of understanding of its goals and process. The research has also shown that there is a lack of stakeholder buy-in within PB/GB LOMA, which needs to be addressed for the process to move forward successfully. This study also found that communication channels are present for communicating about coastal and ocean issues, and that the communication network is generally strong. However, this network has not often been used to communicate about the PB/GB LOMA specifically. As the process moves forward, it is particularly important that stakeholder group representatives communicate about the LOMA to their groups. It will also become increasingly important that the LOMA be brought to the attention of the public, which at this point is generally unaware of the initiative. 11 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am very grateful to my supervisor, Dr. Ratana Chuenpagdee, for providing such support and guidance throughout this process. Thank-you for always making time when I needed it, and also giving me time and being patient when I needed that too. I am also extremely thankful to my supervisory committee members, Dr. Kelly Vodden and Dr. Reade Davis. You have often provided advice and viewpoints that strengthened my thesis and my experience as a graduate student overall. I would like to express by my appreciation to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and the International Coastal Network for providing funding for the completion of my research. I would like to sincerely thank staff at Fisheries and Oceans Canada in the Ecosystems Management Division of the Newfoundland and Labrador Region, especially Geoff Coughlan, Sigrid Kuehnemund and Nadine Templeman. Thank-you for answering my many questions, without your support this thesis truly would not be possible. The completion of this thesis depended upon the willingness of PB/GB LOMA Committee members to speak openly with me in their interviews. I am truly grateful to all of the Committee members for providing me with many more insights than I could have imagined or hoped for. I would also like to express my gratitude to the other graduate students at the International Coastal Network and Department of Geography who have shared this experience with me. Discussing your insights, advice and experiences have really helped me through this process. I would also like to thank Steve Bonnell for encouraging me to pursue my Masters Degree. You convinced me that I had the potential to do this, and thankfully you were right. I owe sincere thanks to my family, friends and Matthew Jones. Thank-you from the bottom of my heart for always believing in me, encouraging me, and putting up with me throughout this entire process. I owe the deepest gratitude to my parents, Walter and Jane Tucker. You have given me so much loving support during all of my academic endeavours that thank-you is just not enough.

Bruce Lane ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Task Force expresses our gratitude to everyone who made a contribution to our work. We are particularly indebted to those fish harvesters, fish processors and other interested parties who took the time to meet with us and make presentations during our consultations around the Province. These presentations were invaluable in providing us with an understanding of the issues arising from our Terms of Reference. Throughout the process, the Task Force worked closely with fish harvesters and processors and with their representatives. Senior executives of the FFAW/CAW and FANL participated with the Task Force in visits to Iceland, Quebec, British Columbia and Japan. The Task Force expresses our profound appreciation for the high level of cooperation and support which we received from: Mr. Earle McCurdy, the President of the FFAW/CAW; Mr. Reg Anstey, Secretary/Treasurer of the FFAW/CAW; and Mr. Alastair O’Reilly, the President of the Fisheries Association of Newfoundland and Labrador. It was through their efforts that we were able to achieve a high level of consensus. There are a number of people who assisted by facilitating our visits to Iceland, Quebec, British Columbia, and Japan. In this regard, particular thanks are expressed to Mr. Jon Bergs, Honorary Consul General to the Canadian Consulate General in Iceland; Mr. Arni Kolbeinsson, Secretary General to the Icelandic Ministry of Fisheries; Mr.
