When it collapsed in 1992 – causing the largest single-day layoff in Canadian history and irrevocable ecological damage – fishermen, scholars, and scientists pointed to failures in management such as uncontrolled harvesting as likely culprits. Examining the history of commercial cod fisheries in the region from the mid-nineteenth century, Managed Annihilation makes the case that the very idea of natural resource management caused the death of the cod. The collapse occurred when the fisheries were ostensibly managed by the state, and the fishery has still not recovered nearly two decades later. Although the collapse raised doubts among policy-makers about their ability to understand, predict, and control nature, their ultimate goal of control through management has not wavered – it has simply been transferred onto new targets.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CAItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 440gAuthor: Dean BavingtonGenre: Science Nature & MathBook Series: Nature History SocietyTopic: Home Garden & Pets, Technology & EngineeringRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
