Oh-oh. Religion next?
I agree with Icarus on the long term sustainability of drawing on wild fish stocks for our sustenance. Common practice for centuries has been to fish stocks until they're gone, then move on to another location or species, which sometimes have to be renamed to make them more palatable. Well-meaning attempts to manage wild fisheries seem to miss an ecological parameter or two. In my neighbourhood lake sturgeon are still recovering from overfishing during the fur trade era almost two hundred years age. We had to find an alternative to bison for our meat too. Open water fish farming has its own issues. Having commercial fishermen in the family has made for some interesting discussions. I think their community is pretty good about working within the rules, and they are very closely monitored, but I think the market for some wild stocks is changing in favour of more predictable supply. We did manage to find some fresh cod on the docks in NL. The mussels were farmed, but the scallops were dragged.
I found the history of the cod fishery in the maritimes and NL very interesting. Dried cod was a major protein source for Europe for centuries, probably fair to call it a big part of the energy that fuelled empires. In the west, we've moved on from beaver and bison to farming and oil. Hopefully our agriculture is sustainable. Oil is, of course, forever. I hope that the outports find a way through their economic inversion. We have a lot of Newfoundlanders keeping the home fires burning by working in our Alberta oil patch. A woman in Fortune told me that her young son-in-law's work rotation to Ft. McMurray wasn't much different than her husband going out on the boats for weeks at a time.
Elmer's pics encourage me to plan another trip. Might have to shrink the Sprinter somehow for the Harrington Harbour supply ship. The ferry to France (St. Pierre & Miquelon) was out of service during last year's visit, so more reason to return.
Some of my favourite recent fiction reads that give a taste of NL background - The Shipping News, The River Thieves (and others by Michael Crummy), The Colony of Unrequited Dreams.
Happy Travels,
Andy
Auch ich habe entschieden, dass weniger mehr ist auf der Innenseite der Sprinter und ein aus mir selbst zu bauen. Wie viel haben Sie das Dach A / C , während im Norden Land benutzen? ( Ich bin Deutsch nur durch Vorfahren, die vor 1700 in Nordamerika angekommen, und die Sprache nicht sprechen . Google übersetzen ist erstaunlich ...Wie schlimm ist es ?) Vielen Dank . Sicher reisen !
. Of course, Fogo, NFLD it will be; hang in there 
. Good luck and don't forget to post your Adventure here.
