摘要

The term "sustainable development" is only half of the gestalt of sustainability, the other being "sustainable livelihoods." The collapse of the Northwest Atlantic cod fishery off the province of Newfoundland, Canada, provides a case study of the interacting biophysical and socioeconomic elements that can decimate a once abundant natural resource. This collapse has resulted in the devastation of livelihoods, and the long - term impact on the Northwest Atlantic ecosystem remains unknown. This article analyzes the collapse as the first step in suggesting a rational fisheries management based on effective stewardship of the resource. This evaluation provides the knowledge base vital for guiding and improving fisheries policy. Several strategies are suggested to bolster a policy goal of sound conservation and management of fisheries for the benefit of the livelihoods dependent on healthy stocks. The strategies are predicated on the concept that living marine resources belong to complex adaptive systems, and are therefore best managed by decentralized rather than conventional, scientific, and top - down management schemes.
