PREFACE A "Workshop on Integrity and Surprise" was convened in Burlington, Ontario, on 14-16 June 1988 under the auspices of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission's Hoard of Technical Experts (GLFC/BOTE) and the International Joint Commission's Great Lakes Science Advisory Hoard (IJC/SAB). The Workshop was supported by funds from the SAB and BOTE. In addition, the Donner Canadian Foundation supported the contributions of several Canadian collaborators. This workshop was a sequel of two earlier initiatives. One of these was the Ecosystem Approach Workshop, convened in Hiram, Ohio, in 1983 under the auspices of IJC/SAB, GLFC/BOTE, the International Association of Great Lakes Research, and Great Lakes Tomorrow. The other was the third series of Canada-U.S. Inter-University Seminars (CUSIS III) of 1983-4, which concluded with a meeting in Racine, Wisconsin. The 1983 Hiram Workshop emphasized practical aspects of ecosystem politics. 1 The CUSIS Seminars emphasized ecosystemic governance. 2 This 1988 Burlington Workshop emphasized scientific and conceptual aspects of ecosystemic policies in the context of great practical uncertainty. Two working groups were convened to explore the implications for policy and for theory and testing of ecosystem integrity and surprise in the Great Lakes basin. With the exception of the introductory paper providing a range of individual perspectives on ecosystem integrity, the papers in these proceedings are categorized according to the two above- mentioned working groups. The first paper in each category provides an overview of that working group's discussions and conclusions. This workshop was organized and convened by a joint committee of the SAB and BOTE. A. P.

We have reviewed and analyzed the proceedings of a Symposium on the Integrity of Water convened in 1975 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. We presupposed that all the participants had at least some minimal commitment to the purpose of the goal of integrity as specified in the U.S. Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972. We perceived a spectrum of interpretations of the term integrity and have divided this spectrum into five classes according to the substance of the goal and supporting strategies with which speakers have invested the term integrity. We have then provided a summary sketch of each of these classes. INTRODUCTION The word integrity figures prominently in Section 304 of the U.S. Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972. To clarify the concept of integrity, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency convened a Symposium on the Integrity of Water in Washington, DC on March 1O-12, 1975. The proceedings (U.S. Government Printing Office Stock No. 055-001-01068-1) were published in 1977. The focus of the 1975 Symposium was on the definition and interpretation of water quality integrity as viewed and discussed by representatives from federal and state government agencies, industry, academia, and conservation/environmental groups. Almost all the participants were American. The Symposium was designed to interrelate two concepts of integrity, 1) as a desirable characteristic of natural ecosystems, and 2) as a moral or cultural principle, and then apply this combined concept to the real-world pragmatic use of integrity for setting regulatory practices. During the Symposium, it was noted (by R.B. Robie) that "from the many interpretations presented, it can clearly be seen that integrity, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder." One way to sort out these differences is to examine the various perspectives of the Symposium participants with respect to the degree of reform deemed necessary to achieve integrity. We discerned five different degrees of reform from the Symposium proceedings and have excerpted text that we consider to be illustrative of each reform objective. We then attempt a general characterization of strategies for each objective. The five reform objectives are: deep reform, partial reform, incremental advances, holding the line, and slowing the rate of retreat. For each of the excerpts that follow we have given the name of the symposium participant and the page(s) on which the statement may be found. We have classified the statements, not the participants, who made those statements. We emphasize that a statement taken out of context should not be used to infer the degree of reform to which a speaker might be committed. Deep Reform Senator Muskie, in the Senate debate on the conference report: "These policies simply mean that streams and rivers are no longer to be considered part of the waste treatment process." And elsewhere: "This legislation would clearly establish that no one has the right to pollute, that pollution continues because of technological limits, not because of any inherent right to use the nation's waterways for the purpose of disposing of wastes." -- R. Outen, p. 217. The goal of the Act is the restoration and maintenance of the "natural, chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters" by 1985. The House Report defines "that ecosystem whose structure and function 'natural' [as] one whose systems capable of preserving themselves at levels believed to have existed before irreversible perturbations caused by man's activities." Any change induced by man which overtaxes the ability of nature to restore conditions to natural or original is an unacceptable perturbation. -- T. Barlow and J.G. Speth, pp. 215, 216. The new program [i.e. the 1972 Act]: . ..assumes that man is a component of the biosphere and that the relationship we seek to achieve with the environment is what some have called harmony. Under this view, man is an integral, if dominant, part of the structure and function of the biosphere. The intellectual roots of this perspective are found in the study of evolution. The objective of this concept is the maximum patterning of human communities after biogeochemical cycles with a minimum departure from the geological or background rates of change in the biosphere.

By this act, the salmon gained The Salmon of Knowledge the world's knowledge. The first person to eat of its flesh would in turn gain this knowledge. The poet Finn Eces or Finegas spent seven years fishing for The Salmon of Knowledge salmon. Finally Finn caught the salmon and gave the fish to Fionn, his servant and son of Cumhaillwith instructions to cook it but on no account to eat any of it. Fionn cooked the salmon, turning The Salmon of Knowledge over and over, but when he touched the fish with his thumb to see if it was cooked, he burnt his finger on a drop of hot cooking fish fat. Fionn sucked on his burned finger to ease the pain. Little did Fionn know that all of the salmon's wisdom had been concentrated into that one drop of fish fat. When he brought the cooked meal to Finn Eces, his master saw that the boy's eyes shone with a previously unseen The Salmon of Knowledge. Finn Eces asked Fionn if he had eaten any of the salmon. Answering no, the boy explained what had happened. Finn Eces realized that Fionn had received the wisdom of the salmon, so gave him the rest of the fish to eat.

I learn how I can help them through remaining and participating with those I love. Thus, we will remain one house, one voice, one heart, and one mission: that mission is to strengthen the Indian way of life. I learn I have learned that education and wisdom happen whenever people speak with good thoughts in a caring, supporting environment and that my teachers are all those who help me to understand the world and myself. There is a larger society, a larger world in which I must learn to live and survive, but I must never forget who I am and where I came from. The past helps me to the future. Excerpt from the Santa Fe Indian School’s Mission Statement, circa 1992 Sociologist C. Wright Mills wrote many years ago, “Those who rule the management of symbols, rule the world.”1 For many Native Americans, symbols are ciphers of power, a type of symbolic “medicine.” I learned this at age fifteen, when I had the rare opportunity to live in a small village on a reservation in northern Arizona that has been home to Native Americans for thousands of years.2 My host was an elder designated by the tribe to convey its spiritual teachings to the outside world.

Vaughn certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Talking Trash: Oral Histories of Food In/Security from the Margins of a Dumpster ________________________________ Chairperson, Dr. Sherrie Tucker Date approved: December, 2, 2011 ii Abstract This dissertation explores oral histories with dumpster divers of varying food security levels. The project draws from 15 oral history interviews selected from an 18-interview collection conducted between Spring 2008 and Summer 2010. Interviewees self-identified as divers; varied in economic, gender, sexual, and ethnic identity; and ranged in age from 18-64 years. To supplement this modest number of interviews, I also conducted 52 surveys in Summer 2010. I interview divers as theorists in their own right, and engage the specific ways in which the divers identify and construct their food choice actions in terms of individual food security and broader ecological implications of trash both as a food source and as an international residue of production, trade, consumption, and waste policy. This research raises inquiries into the gender, racial, and class dynamics of food policy, informal food economies, common pool resource usage, and embodied histories of public health and sanitation.

There is literally Fsomething to fish for everyday of the year. The Gulfstream plays an influential role. Nowhere off the entire eastern seaboard does this life giving, warm water current come any closer to the U.S. than off our shores. Our sub- tropical climate, a continental shelf that begins to abruptly widen off Jupiter and a safe deep-water inlet play supportive roles. It is no wonder that the Palm Beaches has been the scene of many groundbreaking innovations in our sport. Having processed countless fishing contest, tournament and All Time Club Record entries over the past 26 years at the West Palm Beach Fishing Club, I have been in a unique position to observe very distinct seasonal fish- ing patterns, along with the environmental factors that trigger the arrival or departure of fish off our coast. The following is by no means a definitive guide to fishing the Palm Beaches (there are no absolutes in fishing), but rather a solid template for what kind of fishing to anticipate as the season progresses.
