When you're talking about Newfoundland, it's basically impossible not to mention the cod. They were this island's engine for hundreds of years. They were the main driver to colonize this country, and once kept the largest empire in human history fed. But the moment we took them for granted, they all died.
This is the story of the cod.

Thanks! I live in Florida, & I'm 54. I remember seeing news reports from back in the 80s, where the idiotic reporters would just film fishermen saying, "But if the government regulates fishing, I'll go out of business!!!" Even back then, I thought: 'But if they don't regulate fishing, everybody will go out of business.' To this day, I don't understand people's attitudes about such things. They'd rather fish until there won't ever be any more fish - period - than to change how they fish. That's not fear; that's incredible selfishness & stupidity. I sometimes think I'll never really understand people. We face global warming, mass extinctions, unbelievable losses. Yet most of what we hear - even on the news - amounts to devious rhetoric, meant only to keep things the way they are until disaster strikes. All I can say is: somebody must be getting amazingly rich off disaster! tavi.

I remember being young and being out in boat with my father during the food fishery, and seeing a huge Japanese boat a couple hundred meters offshore and being really confused as to why it was there and him saying it was common for illegal foreign boats to fish where we were. i also remember on the same trip catching a really skinny( not small, skinny) cod, and vaguely remember my father saying something about there being some sort of illegal net trap someone must be using on the sea floor, although i forget what he specifically said. Then again my father was a POS who would check other peoples lobster pots while we were out in boat, and i moved away young so i don't know how true what he said was.

I had some time on my hands this morning so I gave it a go and translated the video into French using the RU-vid tool for that. I've been wanting to do one of these for a while but just haven't found the time. I figure videos on Canada might be the best place to start since, well, French lol. Anyways, I don't know if this type of thing is of any value to you guys or not. If it is, I might give it another go on other videos when I get a chance. If it isn't, then I'll put it down as just a fun exercise I did this morning for the heck of it and that'll be that. ^^ PS: Obviously you'd have to find a French-speaker you trust to confirm, but it should be up to standard. I wouldn't have submitted it otherwise.

one aspect you didn't mention was that Canada's capital is in Ottawa. Ottawa was never really interested in defending Newfoundland from international fisheries clustering around the Grand Banks. That would have meant being tough and even a military to ensure a 200 mile limit around Canada. Too bad, eh?? The same effect can be seen on the west coast of Scotland: Norway is aggressively fishing and overfishing that area, and Scottish villages are disappearing, while Norwegian villages prosper.

Considering what the fishermen were saying back when the moratorium was put in place I'm pretty sure the slow recovery has a lot to do with fishermen going out and fishing cod regardless of it. Who's going to commit political suicide by arresting a fisherman for doing their job? Even if they are fishing a seriously endangered fish with a moratorium, people are obviously going to remove it from that context to demonize them.

I surely wish more people could hear (or better yet LISTEN) to what you're saying. Every single time a resource is found to be profitable, it gets exploited to the point of exhaustion. When are we as a species going to understand that we have a real, measurable impact on this world? You can still find some so-called scientists who will attempt to attribute the decline in the cod stocks to something other than man's greed and waste. My favourite was hungry seals. Just try to imagine how many seals it would take to decimate the cod stocks. We'd be wall-to-wall in seals. Funny how they're so good at hiding, isn't it? The truth is, we as a species have always had a disproportionate impact on the environment, locally and globally and it's long past time we owned up and tried to use our "massive brains" to find a better way. Rare Earth is one piece of the puzzle, objectively (to the best of your ability) defining the history of the issues and giving people the opportunity to reflect on how we got here and perhaps come up with a plan to get out. It won't be easy. However long it takes to get into a crisis, it usually takes at least twice as long to get out, but the journey has to start now.

It seems to me that the problem is not that we do not know these things, the problem is ultimately that we are not wired to act in such a way. Think about it, over the billions of years that life developed on this planet, evolution was driven by immediate issues, not what might happen in half a century. And these things still shape how we think today, a lot of the issues we face are a direct result of being left with all sorts of tendencies that was useful once, but are poorly adapted to our current conditions.

@michaelcherry8952
@michaelcherry8952 5 лет назад
I agree completely. The problem is, the same thing happens with the "Presidents For Life" throughout history, whether you're talking about kings, dictators or the "central planning" commissions of the former Soviet Union. In their case, the attitude is not "what will look good to the electorate for the next four years" but "what do I care, I'm in power no matter what happens" (at least until the next bloody revolution). As much as people tend to have a deep suspicion of "government regulations", I think perhaps the only way forward is going to be enshrining hard, specific regulations in law that cannot be changed no matter who is in power. Needless to say, this would probably be a recipe for corruption and disaster, but unless we want to go the way of absolute dictatorships this is probably our best bet. As the saying goes, "Democracy is the worst form of government--except for all of the others". An informed electorate would help, but there's an awful lot of willful ignorance out there, even at the highest levels. (Alternative facts, anyone?)

My grandfather was a fisherman in Lofoten, Norway. This story of yours reflects quite a lot what he had to live through. And this is on the other side of the Atlantic. In one that is still today considered one of the richest fishing areas in the world. Also Rare Earth You should try out Norwegian Cod, the way we prepare Cod gives it a much better taste. Ever tried Lutefisk? Klippfisk is another really delicious treat, although I'm not sure if its the fish, or the bacon that makes it delicious. but worth a try! Search it up! Not to hard to make!

@@yoymate6316 Lutefisk is a very hit and miss dish. It really depends on the preperation for this dish. Majority of people who make this, dosn't make this dish correctly. There is 1 place I know of that does make it really well. Enhjørningen in Bryggen, Bergen. They tend to get it right. It shouldn't be to Gelatin-like. But more like a nice Pork-cutlett with the fat on the edge. with a thin outer layer of gelatin like consistency and texture, and more solid texture inside. Lutefisk is a very difficult dish to prepare correctly. But once you get the hang of it, it becomes really easy. Its just about getting the timing right and finding the salted fish that has been salted the right amount. Another pit-trap with lutefisk is that many people prepare it towards their preferred taste, which becomes a mistake as people take to Gelatin-consistency very differently. Some love it, others hate it. You want to always try hit the middle ground. Henche why you have many coming out with vastly different reviews of a resturant that prepares this dish.

There are two ways to exploit a natural resource: mine it, or be a steward. Miners find the resource, do everything they can to eliminate or minimize competition, harvest it as expeditiously and completely as feasible, then leave the mess for someone else to clean up while they move on to the next site. Stewards take the measure of the resource, learn how to handle it and extract an amount periodically that will still allow for replenishment, as well as what they need to provide to facilitate said replenishment, and then they can reasonably proceed in the knowledge that they will not kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Roughly put, mining (as I've described it) works for minerals (which is not to say that it still doesn't have its drawbacks), while stewardship is best applied to organic products. Still, farming the same crop year after year while pumping in petrochemically derived fertilizers and insecticides to increase yields could be thought of as mining; so could most North American timber harvests. Does any of that minimize the pain inflicted when the government steps in to end a livelihood? Has any industrialist ever been 'laid off'? A lot of questions were left unanswered here...

I don't quite understand why people don't farm cod in Canada, in fact, fish farm appears to be rare in this country. I suspect there are people farm this fish some where else. Though over farming is pretty destructive to environment too, but in some aspect, it is more sustainable way of industrilizing the production.
@altrag
@altrag 5 лет назад
@@user-jh6vt8vx4v There are fish farms, but they're pretty bad too. While they do produce fish, they also generally are large polluters of the surrounding waters (often a river.) Keeping fish that evolved to make use of the great expanse of the ocean in a small pool tends to be.. gross.. to say the least. And all that gross that would normally settle over hundreds or thousands of acres of ocean floor just gets concentrated and squirted into the nearest waterway. Fish farming may be better than driving the species extinct, but its certainly not an ideal solution.

The same can be said for so many of our other resources- the forests we're burning to raise cattle, the co2 we're pumping into the air. I know this sentiment isn't usually well received, but go veg. Even if just on mondays, even if just a day or 2 a month, start wherever you can, because everything helps. This Earth might not be around to sustain our grandkids at the rate we're currently going. I'm not saying become one of those vegan warriors, whose overzealous approach often has the opposite effect as they had intended. But it takes between 6 and 20 pounds of grain to produce one pound of meat - it's inefficient - not only do the cattle need land to be cleared/deforested for their living spaces, but also for their food. I'm not here to preach morals or superiority - I'm simply speaking of efficiency. What we're doing isn't sustainable, on land or sea. Something has to give.

This sentiment leads to people saying that we are just going to abandon ship quite literally to another planet. I think it would be better if we could just agree to manage ourselves as a society instead of individuals. They were able to bring down the entire industry when it was to late and so could've done so when it wasn't they just might have been unable to see the signs. But we should be able to know better if i don't get to eat a certain animal because of problems that would cause to the earth for a year or maybe 5 i would not mind - but outright denying yourself something you enjoy doesn't make sense in my head

Often the "vegan warriors" are the ones who are the most controversial so they get a lot of attention, these types of people are not exclusive to vegans. Most of us dislike them as much as you do. The rest of us are much more reasonable. Many of the people who act brazen on RU-vid do it for profit. For example: Vegan gains: A very controversial channel - 145 million views Mic the Vegan: A scientific channel with very informative videos - 22 million views There are way more reasons vegans have such a stigma, and a lot of it has to do with psychology not with being vegan. The science is bulletproof but the social image is disproportionately bad, mostly because of online media, and it's very sad to see it this way.

@@chadoftoons "but outright denying yourself something you enjoy doesn't make sense in my head". Isn't that kind of the problem? We enjoy fast cars, burgers, fancy cosmetics and so on but these all have negative effects, and it's the selfishness of saying "I'm not prepared to go without" which drives companies to exploit more resources, clear more ground and generally be more cutthroat in pursuit of profit. China produces around 30% of global CO2 emissions but that is mostly to supply the wants of consumers in other countries, not their needs. I do get your point on denying yourself everything you enjoy - with the best will in the world that doesn't lead to happy and stable people imho. Personally I think there should be 1 thing we each let ourselves go with a little bit without worrying too much about the consequences. For me, I will splash out on computer equipment like some people would splash out on a fancy car or fashion. But with everything else, I do my best to reduce my footprint as much as possible, live pretty minimally, and not indulge a lot of the stuff I would like. Recently I also started altering my diet to include less meat, helped partly by moving somewhere that isn't the UK and doesn't include it by default in every single meal, and I've actually been finding it much easier than I expected. Vegetarian food back in the UK never appealed to me at all - it all seemed designed just to be fashionable, and half of the ingredients in it are still not farmed sustainably. Avocados are a cliche but good example of this, with Mexican farmers clearing forests and producing more carbon emissions to meet global demand while many consumers seem generally unaware/uncaring about it. Over here (Netherlands) I'm finding that vegetarian options are much more common, genuinely tasty even for a lifetime carnivore like me, and are generally marketed with a bit more awareness of sustainability and where their ingredients came from. I resisted changing my diet for quite a while - up until a New Scientist article this year sort of forced me to confront the issue with what I was doing - because I like food and, well, basically thought it would make me miserable - but it's way less painful than I imagined. I would agree with Danielle above - you don't have to go completely vege or vegan, but you can reduce the meat you consume and also pay attention to where your meat is coming from when you do buy it and have some effect.
