Document Summary
The grand banks fisheries off the coast of newfoundland fisherman thought it was abound with cod fish. For centuries, the fisheries supported all the cod fishing necessary. However, advancements in fishing technology made it so fishermen could catch comparatively massive amounts of cod fish. Fishermen started competing with each other to catch increasingly larger amounts of cod, and eventually the population of cod fish in the region was so low, the entire industry collapsed. Stabilizing learning: learning enough to generate something: use systems thinking approach (holistic) decisions have consequences. Ipat can estimate the impact of the great acceleration. Implementing policies that limit freedom of reproduction will limit rate of population increase.
