All life on 1999 SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES AWARD Call for Nominations Nominations are now being received for the 1999 Sustainable Communities Award -- an award of recognition given by EAC's Environment and Development Committee. This year's call for nominations in Nova Scotia follows the recent recognition received by Sambro -- the third winner of the Award last year. The people of Sambro were recognized for pioneering community-based management in the groundfish fishery. Sambro was the first site of a 'community quota', managed by a board of local fishermen. The approach has been repeated successfully on the Scotian Shelf and in the Bay of Fundy. Fishermen in Sambro credit community quotas as having stabilized, and essentially saved, their local fishery. Bear River and the Clean Annapolis River Project are also former winners of the Sustainable Communities Award. Other finalists last year include Johnstown, in Cape Breton, and Cow Bay, on the Eastern Shore. If you live in or know of a community fostering a cooperative culture, and local ecologically-minded economic development please contact the Ecology Action Centre's Environment and Development Committee at (902) 420-5732, by April 15, 1999. The award is open to Nova Scotian communities or community-based organizations. Individuals and business enterprises are not eligible. - 30 - For More Information Contact Tony Charles, Environment and Development Committee (EAC) 902-420-5732 (wk.)
