"Those draggers have made a few kings around here; but, they've made a hell of a lot more
paupers."--a Tiverton fisherman
The Atlantic Canadian fisheries are in the throes of a resource and management crisis. Here
is a thorough but accessible case study of a community forced to confront technological
and social change. Looking at a southwest Nova Scotia fishery, Dire Straits documents
changes directed by state development policies and local socio-economic conditions. It
profiles the intended and unintended consequences of change, with a particular focus on
local-level perceptions and responses. While salient to specialist interests, Dire Straits
has been written with the general reader and undergraduate student in mind. Both general readers
and decision makers are offered valuable insights into issues that fishing dependent regions
everywhere are now compelled to face on a daily basis.
