Abstract This thesis explores the "line of faultn (Smith. 1987) between wornen's experiences in the fishery crisis in Newfoundland and Labrador and the construction of the fishery crisis in the print media in this province. An analytical framework based on the work of Dorothy Smith guides the analysis. Smith (1987: 50) argues that a iine of hult or a "disjuncture between experiences and the forms in which these experiences are socially expressednoccurs in society. In this case. the experiences of women in the fishery crisis as expressed in a series of workshops entitled Gathenng Our Voices are contrasted with the results of a media analysis of The Evening Teleerarn coverage of the crisis. This analysis reveals two different stories: women's expressed redities in the fishery crisis and the expression and frarning of the fishery crisis in the print media- Women are under represented in the print media of Newfoundland and Labrador. Their absence as authorized knowers. reporters?and in news photos show that there is a lack of news stories written from women's point of view. A qualitative analysis of The Evening Telemam aiso shows that women's issues and concems are not represented in the coverage of the fishery cnsis. Instead, the fishery crisis is framed from a male centered point of view in the print media. Women's experiences in the fishery crisis are unique and different from men's as women held different roles in the paid and unpaid sectors of the fishing industry. Women worked as mothers, wives and daughters in the household and as fish plant workers and harvestes in the paid sectors of the fishery. Women are concemed about themselves. their families and their future in the rural fishing communities of Newfoundland and Labrador. 1 would not have been able to finish this thesis without the excellent guidance from my thesis supervisors. Barbara Neis, Depamnent of Sociology and Linda Kealey, Department of History. Both have given me a tremendous amount of support and help with this thesis. 1 received financial assistance from the Institute of Social and Economic Research and the Newfoundland and Labrador Women's FishNet and Human Resources and Development for research and expenses during the workshops. 1 also received financial assistance in the form of Graduate Assistantships and Teaching Assistantships in Women's Studies and a fellowship from the School of Graduate Studies. Many thanks to faculty, staff and students in Women's Studies who also have helped during this program. My friends and colleagues in Women's Studies ensured that 1 survived "the long and winding roadn through this program. Without Rhonda Fleming, Carolyn Carpan, Non Andriyani. Fiona MacGregor, Stephanie Weisbart Bellini and Danielle Finney 1 would not have had the strength to get through the hard times of the past few years. Thanks to many nights at the "Duchess" 1was able to see that 1 was not alone in writing this thesis. My friends were there to give me a push when 1 needed it the most. Thanks for the friendship and for believing in me. Most of dl, thanks for the memories of three Fatyears. Thanks also to Jim Butler and Fiona MacGregor. two great roommates, who helped me with computer troubles and prevented me from quitting at least ten times - thanks for being my "family of choice." 1 am also grateful to Hélène Davis. Regional representative of MediaWatch. who helped me with vaious parts of the media analysis and supported my work in Women's Studies and to the rnembers of the Newfoundland and Labrador Women' s FishNet for their support* 1 also thank the many women 1 met on my travels throughout Newfoundland and Labrador. Special thanks to Ioanne Roberts and her family who welcomed me into their home and their hearts on numerous occasions. Thank you to Agnes Pike who welcomed me to her home and showed me life on the Labrador Straits. Also. thanks to Carolyn Lavers who showed me the "red wortd" of rural Newfoundland and Labrador. 1 am also grateful to Barb Genge as she believed in me and my research and encouraged me in many ways. Special thanks to my parents, Max and Bonnie Robbins, who supported my decision to go to graduate school. Thanks to Dad for reading every word of this thesis at least three times. And. to my sister Heather, thanks for king my buddy. 1 am also grateful to many members of my extended family who helped me through some hard times in my life during the writing of this thesis and taught me about personal strength and survival. Without their exarnple. 1 doubt I would have completed this work. "For your family, find a sheltered deep-water cove with a place to haul up boats. land to sink a well ... Read weather signs in al1 seasons; study tides and navigation-sew nets. mend nets. cure the fish-and know your own Coast. Keep your eyes open and put your hand to anything to survive the regular. random disasters."

  • The Political Ecology of Crisis and Institutional Change: the Case of the Northern Cod1
    The Political Ecology of Crisis and Institutional Change: 1 The Case of the Northern Cod by Bonnie J. McCay and Alan Christopher Finlayson Rutgers the State University, New Brunswick, New Jersey Presented to the Annual Meetings of the American Anthropological Association, Washington, D.C., November 15-19, 1995. A longer and different version, with Finlayson as first author, is to be published in Linking Social and Ecological Systems; Institutional Learning for Resilience. Fikret Berkes and Carl Folke, eds. on behalf of The Property Rights Programme, The Beijer International Institute of Ecological Economics, The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Introduction: Systems Crisis The question we pose, although cannot yet answer with certainty, is whether the current set of crises in fisheries--- from the salmon of the West Coast of North America to the groundfish of the East Coast of North America--will open the door to institutional- cultural, social, political- change. There are theoretical and logical grounds for thinking that crisis and institutional change might be linked (Holling 1986; Kuhn 1962, 1970) although the nature and outcomes of linkages are not so straightforward (Lee 1993). Fisheries management is a thoroughly modernist venture, imbued as are so many other of the applied "natural resource" areas with a very pragmatic, utilitarian, science- dependent, and mostly optimistic perspective on the ability of people to "manage" wild things and processes. Management decisions-such as quotas, the timing or length of a fishing season, and the kinds of fishing gear allowed-are influenced by many things but are in theory dependent on information and understandings from a probabilistic but deterministic science known as "stock assessment." However, the alarming occurrence of fish stock declines and collapses throughout the world is accompanied by critical appraisals of the specific tools and the more general philosophies of fisheries management.

  • "She's Gone, Boys": Vernacular Song Responses to the Atlantic Fisheries Crisis
    "She's Gone, Boys": Vernacular Song Responses to the Atlantic Fisheries Crisis Peter Narváez Abstract: In July 1992 a moratorium on the commercial fishing of cod, the staple of the North Atlantic fisheries, urns enacted by the Government of Canada. Because of the continued decline in fish stocks, the moratorium has been maintained, and fishing for domestic personal consumption has also been prohibited. Various compensation programs have not atoned for the demise of what is regarded as a “way of life." Responding to the crisis, vernacular verse, mostly in song form from Newfoundland, reflects the inadequacies of such programs. In addition, these creations assign causes and solutions while revealing a common usage of musical style, language and signifiers which combine to affirm an allegiance to traditional collective values of family, community and province through nostalgic experience. Some of the versifiers have turned to the craft for the first time during this disaster because they view songs and recitations as appropriate vehicles for social commentary. Traditions of songmaking and versifying (NCARP, The Northern Cod Adjustment and responsive to local events (Mercer 1979; O'Donnell Recovery Program, August 1, 1992 to May 15, 1994, 1992: 132-47; Overton 1993; Sullivan 1994) continue and TAGS, The Atlantic Groundfish Strategy, May to thrive in Atlantic Canada, especially in 16, 1994 to May 15, 1999), these have not offset what Newfoundland.

  • Canadian Arctic Sovereignty and Security
    Journal of Military and Strategic Studies, Spring 2009, Vol. 11, Issue 3. IN DEFENCE OF DEFENCE: CANADIAN ARCTIC SOVEREIGNTY AND SECURITY LCol. Paul Dittmann, 3 Canadian Forces Flying Training School Since the Second World War, Canada‟s armed forces have often represented the most prominent federal organization in the occupation and use of the Canadian Arctic. Economic development in the region came in fits and starts, hindered by remoteness and the lack of any long-term industry base. Today the Arctic‟s resource potential, fuelled by innovative technological advances, has fed to demands for infrastructure development. New opportunities in Canada‟s Arctic have, in turn, influenced a growing young population and their need for increased social development. Simultaneously, the fragile environment becomes a global focal point as the realities of climate change are increasingly accepted, diplomatically drawing together circumpolar nations attempting to address common issues. A unipolar world order developed with the geopolitical imbalance caused by the fall of the Soviet Union. This left the world‟s sole superpower, the United States (US), and its allies facing increased regional power struggles, international terrorism, and trans-national crime. Given the combination of tremendous growth in the developing world, its appetite for commodities, and the accessibility to resource-rich polar regions facilitated by climate change, Canada faces security and sovereignty issues that are both remnants of the Cold War era and newly emerging. The response to these challenges has been a resurgence of military initiatives to empower Canadian security and sovereignty in the region.

  • Nonbinding Dispute Resolution Processes in Fisheries Conflicts: Fish out of Water?
    Nonbinding Dispute Resolution Processes in Fisheries Conflicts: Fish Out of Water? RICHARD J. SILK, JR. I. TIRODUCTION During the 1980s, a new star emerged in seafood markets and restaurants across the world. Driven by advanced technology and overfishing of shallow- dwelling fish, commercial fishers in search of deeper-dwelling, marketable species' discovered a relatively small, deep-ocean fish off the coast of New Zealand.2 Brightly colored in orange and unusually ugly as fish go, this "new" species was the orange roughy.3 Its taste was marvelous, it was low in cholesterol, and easily adapted to nearly any pallet.4 Huge numbers were harvested and shipped to markets around the globe.5 But then something happened that many failed to imagine during the prosperity provided by the 6 orange roughy boom: commercial catches dramatically decreased. In short, orange roughy abundance decreased because very little was known about their life stages.7 Fisheries scientists later determined that they are long-lived fish, often living as long as 120-150 years.8 Orange roughy do I See Christopher C. Joyner, Compliance and Enforcement in New International FisheriesLaw, 12 TEMP. INT'L & COMP. L.J. 271,271-72 (1998). 2 Orange roughy are found worldwide, but are commercially exploited in the North Atlantic and off the coasts of South Africa and Australia. Orange roughy generally are harvested from depths of 750-1200 meters. See Malcolm R. Clark & Dianne M.

    ANNOTATED SUPPLEMENT TO THE COMMANDER’S HANDBOOK ON THE LAW OF NAVAL OPERATIONS NEWPORT, RI 1997 15 NOV 1997 INTRODUCTORY NOTE The Commander’s Handbook on the Law of Naval Operations (NWP 1-14M/MCWP S-2.1/ COMDTPUB P5800.1), formerly NWP 9 (Rev. A)/FMFM l-10, was promulgated to U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Coast Guard activities in October 1995.
