Cod moratorium of 1992.... the federal government banned cod fishing along Canada's east coast. This moratorium ended nearly five centuries of cod fishing in Newfoundland and Labrador.... The aim of the policy was to help restore cod stocks that had been depleted due to overfishing. Today, the cod population remains too low to support a full-scale fishery. For this reason, the ban is still largely in place.

Moratoire sur la pêche à la morue de 1992. [...] le gouvernement fédéral a interdit la pêche à la morue le long de la côte est du Canada. Ce moratoire a mis fin à près de cinq siècles de pêche à la morue à Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador. [...] L'objectif de cette politique était de contribuer à la restauration des stocks de morue qui avaient été épuisés en raison de surpêche. Aujourd'hui, la population de morue reste trop faible pour permettre une pêche à grande échelle. C'est pourquoi l'interdiction est encore largement en vigueur.

It was a way of life. It was the backbone of a society. And then the cod fishery off the east coast of Newfoundland collapsed. Taking stock traces the history leading up to the crisis and the calling for a moratorium of the northwest Atlantic cod fishery. It presents the key players in this complex and tragic story, focusing on those who are now trying to come to grips with an uncertain future. How did the calamity happen? What signals did we ignore? Did we chose the right model in setting up an industry? Ultimately, Taking Stock holds a message for the Canadian as well as the global community : In trying to attain economic success, we must recognize that there are limits to how far we can exploit nature's delicate ecosystems. Film produced in 1994 by the National Film Board of Canada.
