Down-time reading

While the location for this international symposium, a forum for scholars, fishery managers, fishing families, and others to explore the human dimensions of fishery systems and the growing need to include social science research in policy processes may have been thousands of miles away from Newlyn, many of the issues addressed are found in the UK. The symposium was a place for sharing what has been learned about the opportunities and constraints that fishing people in northern countries encounter in a time of significant environmental, social, and economic change. 


Diverse panels and presentations addressed the sources and effects of external impacts on fishing people and their communities. Papers for further investigation might include the following: p30, p42, p43, p48 and p85.
