The Impact of the 1992 Cod Moratorium on Newfoundland's Economy
The 1992 cod moratorium in Newfoundland resulted in the collapse of the cod fishery, leading to significant economic repercussions. The closure of the fishery had a profound effect on Newfoundland's economy, causing a decline in fishers, fishing boats, and processing plants.
