Gloucester Fish Inc. is designed to achieve two interdependent goals: first, it has to become financially independent within a reasonable amount of time; second, it has to become the seed for a new model of coastal fisheries management.

The first goal is essential because, if Gloucester Fish Inc. does not become financially independent, it will not stay in business for long-and it will not achieve any other goal.

The strategy for the achievement of the first goal has been described in Section 7 above. Herewith follows a brief description of the strategy for Gloucester Fish Inc. to become a new model of coastal fisheries management. This is a model that can best be described as being driven from the bottom up by all forms of science. Previous models implement a top-down management format. This is an opportune moments to plan for a new form of management.

The dictates of principles put forth by ecologists during the last few decades should lead to a sound management of the natural resources (see, e.g., Niaz Dorry, 1999. "Comments on Proposed Atlantic Herring FMP." Greenpeace, US Oceans Campaign, September 27, 1999). If the resources are harvested with the predominant view of long term sustainability of the resources, this principle will be implemented, and it will be implemented primarily through the use of appropriate harvesting technology.

The benefits of information technology will be fully utilized day by day. With a fleet that is flexible and works in full cooperation with the shoreside facilities, the best available scientific information regarding the need to harvest one species of fish and not another will be fully respected, and it will be enforced through the use of best available cost and price information.

The shoreside facility will also implement the best available seafood technology, with the aim of utilizing one hundred percent of the product. And thus being constantly on the look out for the use of all sorts of by-products.

If they use the implicit advantages of functional integration of management tasks, both the fleet and the shoreside facilities discover and implement all sorts of efficiencies in each and every operation.

If the financial benefits turn to the benefit of all participants in the venture, in accordance with the value of their respective input, the dictates of all the various sciences and technologies will be naturally enforced, because it will become apparent that their utilization turns to the benefit of each participant.
