The sustainability of single resource dependent communities is one of the more critical issues facing people throughout the world. The focus of this paper is a community that managed its fishing commons on a local level since the late 1600's, and continued, to the best of its ability, to retain a measure of control and governance of a diminishing resource up until 1992 when the Northern cod (Gadus morhua) moratorium was declared. It argues that single resource dependent communities with historical that have provided protection of the commons through the use of low impact technologies and self-governance schemes are uniquely positioned to play a role in the regeneration of fish resources and revitalization of coastal fishing communities.
