The Provident Sea describes the history of fish stock management
(including whales and seals). The book traces, on the basis of the
original scientific material, the history of the management of "the
provident sea" up to recent times when problems of
over-exploitation have had dramatic effects upon stocks. The need
for management arose mainly from the increasing industrialization
of capture. Hence the preindustrial fisheries are covered, in
particular the old cod fishery on the Grand Bank and the herring
fishery in the North Sea, as an essential background to current
problems. The origins of fisheries and whaling science are
described, as is the development up to 1965 of the science and
institution in fisheries, whaling, and sealing. In the sixties and
seventies, certain major fishing nations took a heavy harvest of
fish stocks using sophisticated and efficient gathering methods.
This in turn led to conflict and one consequence was the "Law of
the Sea" conference set up to try and resolve these issues.
