  • Summary

    The concluding chapter reiterates discovery of medieval fisheries as a series of interlocking specific experiences of cultural interaction with aquatic nature and the underlying importance in those narratives of drivers both cultural and natural in origin. It then turns to implications which arise when contradictory medieval legacies of overexploitation, recognition of limits, expectation of human control, and belief that abundance always lies just beyond physical or technological frontiers are viewed from the perspective of a present-day global fisheries crisis.
