RATIONALE: Canada closed the Grand Banks to commercial fishing in 1992, setting off an economic shockwave throughout the Atlantic provinces as jobs in every segment of the fishing industry, from the fishers themselves to the processing plant employees and those working in ship making and repair, suddenly vanished. The moratorium on commercial fishing remains in place to this day, but cod populations have not recovered in the nearly quarter century since the ban was first imposed.
