1987 - Formation of the Canadian Sablefish Association (CSA)
In 1987 Sablefish fishermen formed the Canadian Sablefish Association (CSA), to collaborate with government to protect the long-term sustainability of the fishery. An early pioneer of the concept of sustainability in fisheries, we were one of the first commercial industry signatories to a collaborative agreement with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).
