TL;DR: The range of information available to coastal Newfoundland fishers was identified, to see if it could be quantified, and to explore its potential for reconstructing trends within fisheries, describing ways to access the large reservoir of information held by fishers and the use of several cross-checks to identify consistent patterns.

TL;DR: In this paper, the responses of marine ecological and fishingdependent systems to environmental change and the impacts of globalization, using four case-studies: NE Atlantic (Barents Sea), NW Atlantic (Newfoundland), SE Atlantic (Namibia) and the equatorial Atlantic (Ghana).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the relationship between local and traditional ecological knowledge and the development of conservation and management practices in commercial fisheries in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and characterize this movement as a shift along a continuum from local ecological knowledge (LEK) towards globalized harvesting knowledge (GHK) as harvesters become increasingly disconnected from socioecological relationships associated with traditional species and stocks.

TL;DR: A conceptual model is proposed that identifies potential sources of direct and indirect risks to fishing health and safety in order to throw light on potential pathways from regulation to fishing safety.
