| Abstract: |
Many Atlantic Canadian coastal communities were created and survived because of the fisheries trade. While initially, in Newfoundland, some settlements were established against British government orders, over time government policies for Newfoundland and the Maritime Provinces of Canada came to support these coastal communities. Over hundreds of years, fishing families who worked the inshore, or artisanal, fisheries were sustained by social and economic policies, as well as community practices. My focus in this paper is the subsequent change in fisheries policy that not only favoured the corporate offshore fishery but also made it almost impossible for fishing to remain as a way of life in Atlantic Canada. Also under the threat of extinction is the more ecologically sustainable inshore fishery as well as the communities that have depended upon it. |
