  • <p>When the <strong><a href="http://eol.org/pages/206692/details">cod</a></strong> fishery collapsed in Newfoundland in the early 1990s, the hopes of the local fish harvesters collapsed with it.

She and some friends found a solution that was right under their feet, in the reddish rocks of Mistaken Point.
