Abstract
Icelandic coastal communities face major socio-economic and demographic challenges. Multiple reasons can be identified, among them restricted access to fishing grounds with de facto privatisation through the introduction of individual transferable quotas in 1990, which caused substantial stress to the economic structure of numerous fisheries-dependent towns and villages. The aim of this case study is to reveal the coping strategies of one such place that once was a thriving fishing village. The underlying theoretical framework is that of social resilience, here understood as the ability of a system to adapt to changes and disturbances. The case study is based on a mixed methodology approach, including structured interviews with key informants and workshops with various groups, including young adolescents, entrepreneurs and the general public. The chosen case study site is a place that has lost almost all land-based jobs in fisheries, but where the former fish processing facilities have been transformed into places of cultural activity and for research and development. It therefore provides a good example of a shift from extractive industries towards creative and knowledge-based industries. This does not only invite the emergence of innovative pathways, but also increases the ability to attract young talent from outside, and to keep educated and skilled people in the community. Potentials and capacities for further increasing the social robustness of the community are identified in the paper. Key words: Iceland, social resilience, coping strategies, fisheries, ITQs Les marees sont un changement : ressources, reglementation et resilience dans une communaute cotiere islandaise Resume Les communautes cotieres islandaises sont confrontees a des defis socio-economiques et demographiques majeurs. De nombreuses raisons peuvent etre identifiees, incluant l'acces restreint aux zones de peche avec la privatisation de facto par l'introduction de quotas individuels transferables en 1990, ce qui a considerablement perturbe la structure economique de nombreux villes et villages dependants de la peche. Le but de cette etude de cas est de reveler les strategies d’adaptation d’un de ces endroits qui etait autrefois un village de pecheurs prospere. Le cadre theorique sous-jacent est celui de la resilience sociale, ici comprise comme la capacite d'un systeme a s'adapter aux changements et aux perturbations. L'etude de cas est basee sur une approche methodologique mixte qui inclut des entretiens structures avec des informateurs cles et des ateliers avec divers groupes, notamment les jeunes adolescents, les entrepreneurs et le grand public. Le site choisi pour l’etude de cas est un lieu qui a perdu presque tous les emplois lies a la terre dans la peche mais ou les anciennes installations de traitement du poisson ont ete transformees en lieux d’activite culturelle et de recherche et developpement. Il fournit donc un bon exemple du passage des industries extractives aux industries creatives et basees sur la connaissance. Cela encourage non seulement l'emergence de voies novatrices, mais augmente egalement la capacite d'attirer de jeunes talents de l'exterieur et de maintenir des personnes instruites et qualifiees dans la communaute. Cet article identifie les potentiels et les capacites pour augmenter davantage la robustesse sociale de la communaute.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
