BAVINGTON, Dean
Canada Research Chair in Environmental History, Assistant Professor of History and Geography, Nipissing University, North Bay, Ontario, Canada. His current book project Managing Fish, Managing Fishermen offers a synoptic overview of commercial cod fisheries in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada from the mid-19th century to after the moratorium on cod fishing imposed in 1992. He argues for understanding the cod fishery as a scientifically managed object and exposes the mutually provoked changes between managerial methods on the one hand, and cod, fishermen and fishing techniques on the other.
