...press coverage of issues surrounding 1997/8 Report on Status of Cod. Much in paper, but here are a few links:
Pauline Comeau's 1997 article "A confidential report concludes that Cod is endangered", Canadian Geographic: canadiangeographic.ca/specialfeatures/atlanticcod/cod.asp
Canadian council for geographic education : "tracking species at risk -- Kim Bell" www.ccge.org/ccge/english/geographyOnJob/conservation/geoJob_conservation_trackingSpecies.htm
Rick Boychuck, Ed. Canadian Geographic, explaining why they were paying Bell's travel costs to COSEWIC meeting 1998, when COSEWIC wouldn't despite having deferred the Report the previous year. www.cangeo.ca/Magazine/MJ98/editor.asp. CanGeo gave the support with no strings -- "you owe us nothing", they said, and they stuck to that.
