In the fall of 1994, both the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE) and the Newfoundland and Labrador Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NLRTEE) decided to collaborate on a project that would look at the fish crisis from the perspective of the sustainability of coastal communities and marine ecosystems in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The collapse of the cod fishery off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador is a classic example of unsustainable development. The impacts and implications on an ecosystem, on an economy and on a way of life never seem to stop. In the fall of 1994, both the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE) and the Newfoundland and Labrador Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NLRTEE) decided to collaborate on a project that would look at the fish crisis from the perspective of the sustainability of coastal communities and marine ecosystems in Newfoundland and Labrador. The NRTEE intended this to be a case study, from the viewpoint of the affected communities, in which the crisis created by the current moratorium on northern cod could be analyzed and the prospects for future sustainability investigated.
