Its a bit more complex than that. You see the Canadian Government did eventually kick in the EEZ and ban foreign boats fromf ishing the Cod within Canada's EEZ. Those fish were then fished by Canadian Fishermen unwilling to allow the quotas to drop. Essentially they picked up where the foreign fishermen left off and finished the destruction of the Grand Bank Fishing Grounds that the Foreign Fishermen had started. What *may* have saved the Fishery is if at the same time as banning Foreign boats from fishing Canadian waters the Canadian Government had put in place stringent and sensible quotas that the Canadian Fishing fleet followed. By the time the Canadian Government *did* bring in those quotas it was too late, the Cod population had already started to crash and to this day has not recovered. EDIT: Its an absolute classic in mismanagement of a Fishery, it was taught as such at several Universities I worked for as faculty in their Marine Bio departments. Unfortunately it is not the only example, and its not going to be the last, not by a long shot.

The waters off Somalia was fished into obliteration within a matter of years, forcing the former native fishermen to take up another business, that of piracy.

@@Ealsante Unfortunately the Lions led by Donkeys myth is exactly that, a myth. The reasons behind the losses in the battles of WWI are many and varied, and FAR, FAR more complex and wide ranging than 'the Generals were bad'. Lets take one example, Cavalry. Hell, the fact that Cavalry was absolete as Cavalry was recognised in the British Army even before WWI, their cavalry had to undergo the full marksmanship and field qualifications as the infantry. In essence they were being trained as mounted infantry even before WWI started. Problem was, there was nothing to replace it in its fast exploitation role. And do not scream TANKS at me. Ever looked at 1918 tanks? The fast tank, the Whippet, could make maybe 8 miles an hour over perfect terrain (which most of the Western Front most assuredly was NOT). The Mk V heavies could manage 5 across perfect terrain with a tail wind. At Amiens 430 some tanks started the battle, by day three there were 47 runners, the vast majority of the casualties had broken down, 10% of them BEFORE they reached their starting lines. What does this mean? Well it means *everything* in the attack moves at a mans walking speed. Why is this important? Because the enemies reinforcments can be trained in via the vast French and German rail systems (literally designed with a mind to a war against each other) faster than you can break through. So that ONE thing, the fact there is not viable fast exploitation arm able to take advantage of any breakthrough is one of the very things that SHAPED the WWI battlefield on the Western Front. Then you have all the other myriad issues that include, but are not limited to: Increased lethality of weapons (understood before 1914 but no one had an answer) which is what forced troops to dig in in the first place, increased effectiveness of offensive over defensive technologies (until late 1917 - early 1918 when that started to reverse), inability for artillery to fire without pre-registering their guns (not solved until late 1917), inability to outflank as the lines ran from the Swiss Alps to the Sea and there WAS no Flank to attack, the relative stagnation of communications technology which meant attacking troops lacked an effective communications system, the requirement for the entire nations industries to ramp up into total war production (which took time), and so on. The Generals of WWI did in fact learn, the Generals of WWI literally wrote the book on modern combined arms warfare from scratch after they had to throw away every other book they had.....

Atlantic Canadian and French Canadian accents seem to sound the second T though (and it is sounded in Canadian French, even in Ontarian French accents). The "Trona" sounding is a holdover from the previously common (and now nearly extinct) Toronto urban accent which faded away in the last few decades of the 20th century, being replaced by a regional variation on the Canadian Standard (the common urban accent heard from Vancouver to Ottawa). That distinctive way of saying Toronto was typical of the vowel shifts and consonant dropping patterns of the now rare Toronto accent (the vowels turned non-distinct and the T went from a glottal stop to disappearing entirely with time). Some older folks still have the old Toronto accent (a lot of them live in the 905 belt now) but it's usually muted these days, influenced by the Canadian Standard accent they hear around them now. The old Toronto accent is quite nasal and a bit reminiscent of some old New York accents (like Brooklyn or the Bronx). You can hear traces of it in the old King of Kensington sitcom but even by then the urban accent was shifting. One of my uncles (he's in his 60s by now) is part of the last generation to really have that accent and his "Trona" doesn't sound odd or forced but rather just fits in normally with the phonetics of his natural accent.

Honestly, if they allowed fish farms (growing fish in nets in the water) for cod, and required that a percentage of the fish grown in the nets be released (even as little as 0.1%), they could recover the ecosystem in as little as a few years, to as long as a decade or two. The higher the percentage required to be released in the wild, the faster the recovery, and allowing fish farms would allow people to live on the island full time and profit from doing so. At most, they would need to dredge some land near the island, for the fish farms to have more room for the fish to grow. And cheap biomass can be used to feed the fish, even simply catching cheaper fish, mincing them into pieces, and feeding them to the cod in the farms.

@@zigmeisterful It's not about breaking tradition, it's about a mixture of the governing entity making fairly bad decisions, compounded by the people being unwilling to innovate in order to improve their lives. As someone in the video said, their parents and grandparents wanted to get out of the fishing industry, which is why the village ended up abandoned. If they really wanted to continue fishing, even if on a smaller scale, they would have tried a lot of random things until something worked, and the state would have at least partially paid for it. On google maps, I can see at least 2 large golf-like areas, which could be diked to form two large lakes separate from the sea, where fishing would technically be allowed, being separated from the ocean. At the very least, they could use such areas to grow fish from eggs to a size at which they could scavenge the sea, release them at that size while making it into an event which to attract tourists, and then in a few years the population if cod would have replenished to the point where fishing would still be doable, and they would only allow fishing under certain limits, the rest of the fish growing in the diked gulf-lakes. I mean, you wouldn't release all the fish, just what won't fit inside those diked lakes. And those dikes themselves would serve as a tourist spot and as shared USA-Canada research into the usage of dikes to extend the usable land. Specifically, two dikes on the east to close the southern harbor while still using the Goat Island and Macks Island as harbors, and three dikes to close the North Harbor, leaving the south-eastern side of the Harbor Island and the Batt Cove for harbors. Batt Cove could also be closed with a dike, to serve as a lake used to propagate the fish, and water filters could be used to grow more fish than would normally grow for that size of lake, by constantly refreshing the water with new seawater. And that's even if they don't use netting farms anchored to the ground with their tops floating above water. And part of the funding and expertise could also come from environmental fishing advocate groups.

Absolutely shattering. It's directly tied to the amount of alcoholism in Newfoundland. We didn't learn anything from what happened after the Trail of Tears, or the forced relocation of ethnic peoples in Eastern Europe. When you uproot a community and force them to go live somewhere else that's alien to them, it's like separating a person from their mother. The land is your mother.

FINALLY SOMEONE PRONOUNCES NEWFOUNDLAND CORRECTLY!! You don't realize how important that is to me. (Even if you got it wrong early in the video haha) Wow it's crazy to see a video about little Bay islands. I was born and raised (and still live) in Newfoundland's capital of St. John's. A lot of other communities in the province look to face the same fate in the future. There are many small towns that are serviced by remote ferries and they are costing the province exorbitant amounts of money. Newfoundland is famous for its numerous tiny rural fishing communities. As the cod industry died out these communities either thrived on the families of fishermen staying, or people using them as vacation homes. It's looking like as time goes on, these towns will begin to fall one by one as they are extremely difficult to service from a governmental perspective whether it be medical care, food delivery, etc. Eventually these amazing relics of the past cod industry will be far fewer than today. If you ever visit Newfoundland I highly recommend taking a trip to a few of these purports of your choice (we literally have HUNDREDS). Hope you enjoyed speaking to the locals, and hopefully their Newfie accents weren't too difficult to understand! Really enjoyed this video and it's pretty much completely historically accurate. Great work

The boats fishing off the coast of Newfoundland weren't just fishing for local cod, they were fishing for cod that lived all along the Grand Banks and Greenland region, that just happened to swim past Newfoundland. By the time cod couldn't be found near Newfoundland, their population had collapsed throughout the northwest Atlantic, possibly to the point that most cod couldn't even find another fish to mate with. Remember, most fish dump their eggs and sperm into open water, and if there isn't another fertile fish close enough, eggs don't get fertilized and baby fish don't hatch.

A wonderful and moving account of the death of a community. My uncle was a seaman nearly all his life, sailing in tankers, Deep-Sea tugs, freighters, and a great many trawlers, and it was the collapse of the Newfoundland fisheries and the Icelandic Cod Wars that eventually forced him to 'swallow the anchor' (and pretty much ended the UK's distant-water fishing industry). One quirky little point about the interview with the older guy in this video (which I've also heard in the voices of some older Newfies I've known) is the clear remnants of a West-of-Ireland accent which has probably been passed down over three or four generations since his ancestors arrived there in the 19th century... even the accents tell tales of the past.

I remember all the fishermen livid that the government would tell them they can't fish. They refused to have the foresight that you can either stop fishing now voluntarily, or you can stop fishing later when there are no fish. Fishermen, predictably, didn't care about the future - using phrases like "I have a family to support. There are no other jobs here. What am I supposed to do?" The fish don't care about your livelihood. And when they're gone completely, you will also have no livelihood. So why not do the right thing now. Exactly like climate change.

Read a book about Portuguese cod fishery after WWII. Can't remember the title, but it was about a reporter taking a fishing trip around 1948. They went across the ocean to the Grand Banks for months, filled with salt, and gradually the salt would melt as they added fish until their holds were filled with salt cod. Then back to port. They carried a dozen or two dozen dories, each guy would go out in his own dory and fish all day, baiting and hanging long lines with 50 hooks. So much fish, lots of anecdotes about fishermen just throwing fish over their shoulder as they reeled in the line and practically sinking their dories. They'd be out of sight of the boat, then return in the evening. No fresh water for bathing, I can only imagine how that ship and crew smelled on their eventual return to port.

It's humbling to think we have a behavior in common with locusts: We exploit food sources to their exhaustion, and are forced to move on. The list of marine species we've pushed to population collapse is a long one. Conservation quotas and bans are the proper action. But the cod is still endangered because everyone cheated. There are still rogue Japanese companies hunting whales protected 20 and 30 years ago. The Chilean Navy had to fire on and sink a Chinese trawler last winter to signal the Chinese government, which allows a fleet of over 2000 vessels to illegally deplete fish stocks in Chile's territorial waters. If this portends what's to come, it will prove Darwin wrong, in a sense; we're not evolving along lines favoring our survival as a species.
