Fishing came out on seasonal bases, trade in furs, both of aciviies required minimal shore occupaion, no permanent occupaion. Idea was to trade in furs and engage in ishing and begin a setlement: secure the region, not mass setlement, ensure on going french inluence in area. 1613, port royal was seized by english raider samuel argall: king james awards area to scoish sir william alexander names it new scotland. Return ns with treaty of saint germaine-en-lave: didn"t make diference, french crown was weak so control wasn"t strict. Established new naive american trade routes and near the sea so it was accessible by french ships. No good for agriculture, without it setlement on a large scale would not happen. Found on islands, well removed from one another, no roads, isolated. Male socieies, came from same area as owner. Weren"t any woman: wife of owner maybe.
