Abstract
This paper examines how declining fish populations have led many environmentalists to conclude that cod populations, specifically in the North Atlantic, are being over fished. It looks at how they call for stricter regulation of the fishing industry throughout the region, with regard to time spent at sea, mesh sizes on nets, and other aspects of the industry.
From the Paper
"Cod has been a staple in the West for centuries, if not longer (Bhargava par. 4). It is, quite simply, one of the primary sources of fish protein that Western industrial society currently enjoys. However, that supply has been threatened in recent decades. Declining fish populations have led many environmentalists to conclude that cod populations, specifically in the North Atlantic, are being over fished. They call for stricter regulation of the fishing industry throughout the region, with regard to time spent at sea, mesh sizes on nets, and other aspects of the industry. However, the fish industry opposes most of these measures. Additionally, demand has certainly not fallen for cod in Western markets. "

Abstract
The paper discusses the ways in which advances in navigation and technology coincided with the age of exploration and the politics of expansion, resulting in the North Atlantic slave trade. Includes a discussion of the triangular trade commerce cycle that developed between Europe, the North American colonies, and West Africa, and the deplorable conditions that existed on the ships.
From the Paper
"The seeds of the North American slave trade were planted when technology, politics, and the necessity of economic expansion combined to see the birth of the age of exploration in the 15th century. Advances in navigation and sailing gave real promise to the desires of explorers who sought unchartered routes to riches for their nations, and their rulers funded their excursions as a way to increase commerce and their land holdings. However, the slave-trading that was crucial to the success of these endeavors was eventually abolished as a result of the success it spurred."

From the Paper
"The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), an alliance of the United States, Canada, and a number of West European states that came into being in the wake of the Second World War with its primary objective being to defend Western Europe from the perceived threat of the Soviet Union, is the most powerful - and arguably the most effective - military alliance in history. Dominated by the superpower of the United States, the NATO alliance "won" the Cold War to the extent that it has begun expanding by incorporating former adversary states from the Soviet-dominated and now defunct Warsaw Pact."

Atlantic Canadian Immigration, 2007.
This paper discuses the problems with attracting and retaining immigrates to Atlantic Canada.

Abstract
This paper explains that immigration to Atlantic Canada is important because Canadian immigrants stimulate economic activity through a strong work ethic based on previous experience and, in most cases, university training. The author points out that Canadian immigrants are mostly entrepreneurs of considerable wealth who are willing to invest in the Canadian economy and start their own business. The paper states that Atlantic Canada has a dominant white, poor population owing to a lack of immigration, which is usually non-white. The author stresses that the major stumbling block for immigration to Atlantic Canada is the lack of economic opportunity. The paper concludes that, especially for Atlantic Canada, immigration laws need to focus on making immigration swift and simple and on long-term settlement once immigration has occurred.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Poor Immigration Levels
Reasons behind Low Immigration Levels
Using the Law of Immigration to Promote Atlantic Canadian Economic Prosperity
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Atlantic Canada has so little immigration to Canada that the region was not even mentioned once in the body of Statistic Canada's 2004 immigration report. However, a glance over the report's appendix highlights the real inadequacy of Atlantic Canada's immigration problem: for example, only 2.1 percent of Halifax's population constituted "new arrival" status, compared to Toronto's 17.3 percent figure. The lack of immigration to Atlantic Canada is notable upon observation of population levels of Canada's more popular cities. For example, the populations of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have defied national trends and even decreased over the last five years."

The Atlantic Slave Trade, 2002.
Presents the issue of the four hundred year trans-Atlantic slave trade from an Afrocentric perspective.

Abstract
The Portuguese arrival on the Gold Coast of Africa in 1439 brought the beginnings of the Atlantic Slave Trade, subjecting the continent to four centuries of depredation. The paper argues that the intensity of the suffering endured by the African people should be described nothing short of a Holocaust. By examining tragic facts in the form of tables, this paper analyzes the Atlantic Slave Trade from an Afrocentric point of view rather than from either a Eurocentric or even Africanist perspective. In other words, this paper makes little or no apology for presenting material from an African perspective or for identifying emotionally with African history. Instead the paper "presents an insider's perspective which more overtly embraces an African identity."
Paper Outline:
From Harmony to Holocaust
Africanist vs. Afrocentric Point of View
The Effect of the Atlantic Slave Trade on African Culture (in General)
The Effect of the Atlantic Slave Trade on Specific African Cultures
African Complicity?
The Problem Remains the Same
From the Paper
"The observations made by Tunde Obadina above are echoed in "The Maafa: A Holocaust of Greed." In this reading, the situation on the African continent resulting from the slave trade is described as one of pure chaos. Kingdoms would rise and fall depending on how well they filled the individual ?slave-quotas? dictated by the Europeans. Cultural continuity was almost a contradiction in terms as established groups would pass from the scene in quick succession, one after the other. So to ask if the African cultures were affected by the slave trade is go about understanding this situation in completely the wrong way. The effect was a given. Better to ask exactly how much damage was done to African culture as a result of the trade in Africans. This much is clear, the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade was "an event which destroyed peoples and whole cultures, an event which would destabilize a continent, changing it forever.""

European Exploration of Asia and the Atlantic, 2007.
A comparison of the European motives for exploring Asia before 1350 and the Atlantic after 1350.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the European motives for exploring Asia and the Atlantic. It specifically compares and contrasts those motives in Asia before 1350 and the Atlantic after 1350. The paper concludes that while the long-term and prime motives differed, to a larger extent the reasons Europeans were exploring Asia and the Atlantic were similar.
From the Paper
"Therefore, although the major European explorations of Asia and the Atlantic occurred over a two century divide, their motives seem largely similar. When Europeans dictated the terms of exploration, the motives for expansion were essentially the same, involving the hope of commercial expansion, the spread of Christianity and the more general hope of increased geographical and comparative knowledge with other regions of the world. It was only the imminent threat of Mongol invasion which spurred ecclesiastical and diplomatic relations into Asia, once this threat had receded, a commercial and mercantilist approach was taken. This was similar in the Atlantic where military domination of weaker peoples was not the initial motive for exploration; rather, it was access to valuable resources and the prospect of religious conversion. This shows the sustenance of a similar European mentality across the Middle Ages, a mentality in which the European power position was understood, dominating economic and religious exploration to both the East and West, rather than using military power and brute force."

Climate Change and Atlantic Canada, 2008.
This paper examines the effects of climate change on Canada and Atlantic Canada, specifically.

»

Abstract
This paper examines the most important and likely ways that Atlantic Canada will be affected by climate change. The paper demonstrates that climate change has the potential to have a devastating effect on the forests, farms and economy of Atlantic Canada.
From the Paper
"Another way in which climate change could negatively impact Atlantic Canada's forests is by causing mid-winter thaws to become longer, and to occur more often. These thaws cause air bubbles to form in stems, and if these remain they will prevent water from flowing into the leaves when spring comes. Also, if there are extended thaws, when the soil freezes again it can damage roots. This means that when the spring comes, the roots are damaged. However, it is the roots that usually produce the pressure to expel the air bubbles."

From the Paper
"It's quirky, fun, and indescribable from a business perspective. The story of Virgin Airlines and its founder Richard Branson are truly a "rags-to-riches" story. While gaining success in many of his business endeavors, Richard Branson never lost his sense of humor or zest for life and as a result this mentality has funneled through to Virgin as a whole and this applies to Virgin Atlantic."

Atlantic Slave Systems and the British Industrial Revolution, 2000.
An exploration of the relative importance of the Atlantic trade in slaves and sugar to the British Industrial Revolution.

Abstract
This paper examines the work of prominent historians on the subject of British industrialization and the Atlantic trade in African slaves and goods such as sugar. It explores several different theories as to whether the Atlantic trade was a causal factor in industrialization or whether Britain could have industrialized without it.
From the Paper
"The onset of the age of industry, which began in late eighteenth century Britain, has been attributed to a variety of causes, such as an increase in dietary nutrition, a population explosion, increases in technology, changes in agriculture, and large coal and iron reserves. Another perspective is that the Atlantic trade (and specifically the trade in African slaves and sugar) also fueled the British industrial revolution. This last theory, however, has proved contentious. This paper will examine the positions of several authors, both in support of and against the theory."
