The crisis began when a few Mi'kmaq Nations began to issue their own licenses to community members to conduct small-scale lobster fishing to earn \"moderate livelihoods\", a treaty right recognized in the Marshall ruling. Non-Indigenous harvesters reacted, some of them violently, against the idea of a new fishery operating outside DFO-regulated licensing, seasons, and fishing zones. With the major issues still unresolved, numerous flashpoints hold potential for future conflict. The question now looms: where do we go from here?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith contributions from Mi'kmaw leaders, academic researchers, legal experts, non-Indigenous industry leaders, and other knowledgeable observers on all sides of the conflict, \u003ci\u003eContested Waters: The Struggle for Rights and Reconciliation in the Atlantic Fishery\u003c\/i\u003e provides a respectful and realistic examination of Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives with the goal of encouraging dialogue and a shared search for lasting solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1774711141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774711149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nimbus Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.79h x 5.85w x 0.59d","brand":"Richard Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070219579647,"sku":"9781774711149","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15007f3a-2d24-4cd5-868f-fd944ec5bcde.jpg?v=1685429058","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contested-waters-richard-williams-9781774711149","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
