Cod Collapse
Many jobs lost, communities devastated, memories and legacies taken away.. What could cause issues like these? The answer is the cod collapse… In 1992 when the cod fish was lowest ever measured, the government was forced to close the fishery in Newfoundland. The action taken by the federal conservative government put over 40,000 individuals out of work.
Cod is a popular food fish with a mild flavor, low fat content and a dense white flesh that flakes easily. In the UK Atlantic cod is one of the most common kinds of fish to be found in fish and chips, It is also well known for being largely consumed in Portugal and Spain. Because of the over fishing that occured, cod fish is now an endangered species.
The cod moratorium was close to 500 years
