For thousands of years Atlantic salmon (Kavisilik) and Arctic charr (Ikaluk) have persisted along the Labrador coast. The Labrador Inuit have acquired a wealth of knowledge about natural rhythms associated with the availability of their fishery resources. Today the Aboriginal people of Nunatsiavut believe in keeping healthy the Labrador populations of Atlantic salmon and Arctic charr and in preserving the rich traditions relating to their fisheries. Atlantic salmon and Arctic charr remain at the center of their culture and heritage, helping to define who they are and how they relate to their natural world.
A 30 minute documentary produced by Intervale Associates with the help of Vidcraft Productions for the Torngat Joint Fisheries Board.
In May 2000, researchers from universities and non-governmental organizations in 18 countries came together with women fishworkers from Atlantic Canada to talk about some of the changes that are happening in fisheries around the world.
They compared experiences, explored the links between local and global change, and talked about how these changes are affecting women and men in fisheries communities.
Anna Karlsdóttir is Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator in Geography and Tourism Studies, University of Iceland. Karl Benediktsson is Professor of Human Geography.
The fishery resource is once again at the centre of Icelandic politics. The country is searching for a more equitable and sustainable model of resource development to replace the model that culminated in the spectacular bank crash in late 2008.
Dr. Dean Bavington is Canada Research Chair in Environmental History, and Assistant Professor in the Geography and History Departments of Nipissing University. In this presentation, Bavington explores the worship of science and the dismissal of fish harvesters qualitative knowledge, using the Newfoundland cod fishery as an example.
Fish harvesters and scientists describe the abundance of cod stocks in Newfoundland and Labrador waters pre-1990s and what all of us can do to help with recovery of this important species. Intended as a tool to encourage discussion, this 17-minute video by Intervale Associates is suitable for workshops and classroom use.
