Drowning Voices and Drowning Shoreline
The St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project was a massive restructuring of the St. Lawrence River bordering Canada and the United States. The river had always been used for human transportation, and a shipping canal for commercial vehicles was constructed and enhanced throughout the nineteenth century. However, the river grew increasingly incapable of handling an international fleet composed of larger boats during the twentieth century. Proposals t…
Modern Amish farming as ecological agriculture
Critics of industrial agriculture and advocates of ecological agriculture have cited Amish farming as a model of stewardship and sustainability. Amish farming in St. Lawrence County, New York, embodied ecological agriculture in some respects but not others. In comparison with non‐Amish neighbors, Amish farms were smaller in scale, more diverse, and less integrated into the market economy. On the other hand, use of fertilizers and pesticides for c…
Teaching Ecosystem Management and Sustainability
At first glance, a refuge proposed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) appeared to be an effective approach for protecting the habitat of migratory waterfowl. Under careful scrutiny, the proposal was predicated on false assumptions about development pressure and affected landowners exhibited a lifestyle reflecting environmental values. Residents promoted wildlife and utilized renewable resources on their land; they practiced ec…
A practical and theoretical assessment of sustainable development‐a case study
Sustainable development meets the needs and aspirations of the present without compromising the ability to meet future needs. Proposals on sustainable development were evaluated for the Akwesasne Reservation of the St. Regis Mohawks in North America. Resources for aquaculture, sweet‐grass basket‐making, maple sugaring, and fallow‐deer farming can be managed on a renewable basis. Sustainable development has limited congruence with other concepts o…

Many contemporary environmental issues, such as hazardous waste disposal, are not simply problems of resource use; they are also problems of public health. Historians of the modern environmental movement have paid little attention to d…
