In recognition of the need for a more collaborative approach on this issue, the Action Team initiated a broadly-based consultation process as part of the cod recovery initiative. In January 2004, the Action Team established an External Advisory Committee (EAC) consisting of sixteen (16) representatives of the fishing industry, the community, Aboriginal interests, Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador and other appropriate groups. This Committee provided advice and guidance to the Team and acted as a "sounding board" in the identification and implementation of stock recovery measures.
