This chapter follows the author, Alejandro Frid’s personal experiences conducting dive surveys for rockfish—a genus of long-lived, marine fishes that are easy to overfish—as part of his collaborative research with coastal First Nations of British Columbia. From there, Frid uses the archaeological literature to point out that big, old rockfish were not wiped out during millennia of Indigenous fisheries, despite First Nations having had the population sizes and technology to do so, constructing the argument that maybe humans are not inherently destructive after all.
