Abstract

The small-scale fishing economy in this community perched on a rocky headland overlooking the Atlantic is as dynamic as any larger economic unit. Any missing link in the production chain – a shortage of fish or wood for the smoking ovens, for example — spurs villagers to brainstorm for a solution and jump to fill the gap. The following story recounts not only how the community’s lateral thinking solved a particular problem, but how it acquired and worked with both local and national allies, setting in motion the momentum for success.
