  1. Vulnerability and Resilience in Fishing Communities-- The Northern Cod Case

  2. Vulnerability and Resilience • In theory • “Ability to rally from insults” (def. of “health” by R. Audy); weathering the storm, etc. • Responding in ways that are appropriate to the scale and scope of the problem (cf. Bateson, Slobodkin, Rapoport, ‘economics of flexibility’) • Making appropriate investments for important goals and for uncertain futures • In situations of high uncertainty, avoiding major irreversible choices.

  3. Resilience and Adaptation in Socio-Natural Systems • C.S. Holling et al.: points of deep crisis in ecological and social systems: conditions for fundamental structural and conceptual change. • T. Kuhn: paradigm shifts. • The collapse of northern cod in Newfoundland • Finlayson and McCay; Neis; Steele et al, Martin, Myers and Hutchings,
