Scenarios about 'cod moratorium'
The cod moratorium refers to the 1992 Canadian government ban on Northern cod fishing following the catastrophic collapse of Newfoundland's cod stocks due to decades of overfishing. This environmental and economic disaster ended a 500-year-old fishing tradition, devastated coastal communities, and forced approximately 30,000 people out of work, serving as a powerful cautionary tale about resource management and ecological tipping points in alternate historical scenarios.
