dc.description.abstract | The resilience of small-scale fisheries in developed and developing countries has been used to provide lessons to
conventional managers regarding ways to transition toward a social-ecological approach to understanding and managing fisheries.
We contribute to the understanding of the relationship between management and the resilience of small-scale fisheries in
developed countries by looking at these dynamics in the wake of the shock of stock collapse and fisheries closures in two
contexts: Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and northern Norway. We revisit and update previous research on the gendered
effects of the collapse and closure of the Newfoundland and Labrador northern cod fishery and the closure of the Norwegian
cod fishery in the early 1990s and present new research on young people in fisheries communities in both contexts. We argue
that post-closure fishery policy and industry responses that focused on downsizing fisheries through professionalization, the
introduction of quotas, and other changes ignored the gendered and intergenerational household basis of small-scale fisheries
and its relationship to resilience. Data on ongoing gender inequities within these fisheries and on largely failed recruitment of
youth to these fisheries suggest they are currently at a tipping-point that, if not addressed, could lead to their virtual disappearance
in the near future. | en |
