Book Description

Publication Date: May 20 2010 | Series: Nature | History | Society Series

The Newfoundland and Labrador cod fishery was once the most successful commercial ground fishery in the world. When it collapsed in 1992, many pointed to failures in management such as uncontrolled harvesting as likely culprits. Managed Annihilation makes the case that the idea of natural resource management itself was the problem. The collapse occurred when the fisheries were state-managed and still, two decades later, there is no recovery in sight. Although the collapse raised doubts among policy-makers about their ability to understand and control nature, their ultimate goal of control through management has not wavered and has been transferred from wild fish to fishermen and farmed cod.

Book Description

A provocative account of the annihilation of the legendary Newfoundland cod fishery, this book challenges the idea that we can understand, predict, and control nature without ultimately destroying it.
