Contents:
pt. I. How we got here : historical restructuring and its social-ecological legacy. Introduction : what stress? What coasts? ; A social-ecological history of Canada's fisheries ; Not managing for scarcity : social-ecological issues in contemporary fisheries management and capture practices ; Social-ecological health and the history of the forest products industry on both coasts ; Social-ecological health and the history of nonrenewable resources on both coasts ; Cross-scale, cross-sector, and cross-purpose issues : overlap in the coastal zone.
Summary: Rosemary Ommer and her project team combine formal scientific (natural and social) and humanist analysis with an examination of the lived experience of coastal people. They analyze community erosion created by economic decline and the ecosystem damage caused by unrelenting industrial pressure on natural resources and look at the history of coastal communities, their resource bases, their economies, and the way the lives of people are embedded in their environments.
