It is commonly believed that there are approximately 800 fishing communities in the province and that each is highiy dependent on the fishery for its economic ·wellbeing. This belief is not based on statistical evidence, but on the fact that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans maintains catch and effort, licencing and vessel registration data for approximately 800 landing sites in the province. Landing sites, unfortunately, are not completely synonomous with fishing communities because a landing site only represents a place wnere fish is or has been landed. Numerous once-active landing sites have been abandqned in recent years as a result of changes in settlement patterns. Others are used only as temporary .c, isn1ng. t - locations (or summer stations) during the summer months by fishermen and their families who migrate to these areas from elsewhere. In many instances a landing site does represent a fishing community but in others a fishing community encompasses several landing sites. The confusion surrounding the identity and distribution of fishing communities in Newfoundland and Labrador is therefore considerable and adds to the complexity of managing the fishery. - ii - FORMAT The Economics Branch seeks to remove some of this confusion by compiling a more accurate list of the actual fishing communities in Newfoundland and Labrador. In June, 1934, therefore, Fisheries and Oceans field officers were interviewed on an informal basis in order to obtain a status report on each landing site in the province. This survey identified whether a landing site was either a separate community, part of a larger community, a summer station or abandoned and no longer used. In each instance, community boundaries were identified, for the purposes of this report, according to 1oca1 perceptions under the assumption that a community is what the local people perceive it to oe. For each community identified, the survey attempted to determine whether or not it was a "fishing community". It was assumed, for the purpose of classification, that a "fishing community" must have at least five licenced fishermen. This process resulted in the identification of 501 fishing communities and 172 summer stations in Newfoundland and Labrador. If the classification criterion had been that a "fishing community" would have at least five full-time fishermen, the number of fishing communities would have been less. In the pages that follow, these communities and summer stations are listed by statistical area and section. A map (page v) is provided to enable the reader to identify the geographic locations referred to in the report. If a community encompasses - i i i - several landing sites, each of these is identified. The community of Straitsview, for instance, includes Straitsview, Hay Cove and Noddy Bay. Although each is a landing site, all are part of the community of Straitsview {as defined)and to identify the relationship between the three, the fo11owing format is used: Settlement Code Fishing Community or Summer Station 01-07 Straitsview - Hay Cove (01-06) - Noddy Bay (02-01) This explains that the community of Straitsview (settlement code 01-07) also includes Hay Cove (settlement code 01-06) and Noddy Bay (settlement code 02-01). Communities designated (SS) are summer stations. The fishing communities from which most fishermen at the summer station originate are listed under the summer station. The fishermen at the summer station of Crabbes River (settlement code 40-15), for instance, originate from Highlands (settlement code 40-02) and St. Davids (settlement code 40-03). This information is portrayed as follows: Settlement Code Fishing Community of Sumer Station 40-15 Crabbes River (SS) - Highlands (40-02) - St. Davids (40-03) - iv - St. Davids and Highlands are also fishing communities since only some of the fishermen from each community use Crabbes River as a s_ummer station. Each community, therefore, also appears in the list as a separate fishing community. Settlement patterns have changed markedly since the time when the landing site list was first compiled by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Population movement and growth and the consolidation of small communities is a dynamic process. The 1ist presented herP..in will on1y be reasonably useful for several years. There wi11 be a need to up-date the list on a regular basis if users find it of value in terms of organizing, tabulating and presenting the community level data which is available from the statistics system. This list is not a replacement for thP landing site classification list prov~ded by the Department's Statistics and Systems Branch but rather a means of better organizing the data available for community-level analyses. - v - NE\NFOUNOLANO AREA N GULF Of ST.
