| Summary: | Seachange is a study of shifting emphases in Pacific halibut conservation policy, and a
story about the changing relationship between people and nature. North American fishery
conservation policy cut its teeth on the Pacific halibut fishery. It has been cooperatively
managed by Canada and the United States since 1923, and has been at the center of what
may prove to be two of the most important debates over fishery policy in the last century.
What follows, however, is less a study of specific policies than it is a study of shifting
emphases in North American fishery management. Although people have been fishing
halibut for hundreds of years, the idea that their activities need to be managed is
relatively new. But the idea of "management" begs two further questions: managed how
and to what end? These are the questions to which Seachange seeks answers. === Arts, Faculty of === Geography, Department of === Graduate
