The lived experience of fishers through the cod moratorium in Newfoundland Wall, Marie
Abstract
Using Karlsson's Empirical Psychological Phenomenological Method, this thesis project researches the fishers' lived experience of the cod-fishing moratorium in Newfoundland that began in 1992. The source for the lived experience was derived from interviews with five fishers from St. Mary's Bay, Newfoundland, who were full-time fishers at the declaration of the moratorium. The study resulted in 17 themes representing their experience, including the experiences of: steadfastness, knowing, loss and grief, abandonment, dashed hopes, professionalization, being prepared for the moratorium and not being prepared for the moratorium, of waiting, remembering the resettlement program, being judged disrespectfully, being devalued for fishers' economic contribution, being paid-off, being misguided, frustration and change. This study articulated the issues as named by those most affected and translated the experience into a psychological perspective that can influence the development and implementation of counselling practices and programs. Based on the findings of this study, implications were drawn for counselling practice, for individual and group processes, and policy making.

Using Karlsson's Empirical Psychological Phenomenological Method, this thesis
project researches the fishers' lived experience of the cod-fishing moratorium in
Newfoundland that began in 1992. The source for the lived experience was derived from
interviews with five fishers from St. Mary's Bay, Newfoundland, who were full-time
fishers at the declaration of the moratorium. The study resulted in 17 themes representing
their experience, including the experiences of: steadfastness, knowing, loss and grief,
abandonment, dashed hopes, professionalization, being prepared for the moratorium and
not being prepared for the moratorium, of waiting, remembering the resettlement
program, being judged disrespectfully, being devalued for fishers' economic contribution,
being paid-off, being misguided, frustration and change. This study articulated the issues
as named by those most affected and translated the experience into a psychological
perspective that can influence the development and implementation of counselling
practices and programs. Based on the findings of this study, implications were drawn for
counselling practice, for individual and group processes, and policy making.
