The province of Newfoundland and Labrador had three main types of fishery in the 19th century: sealing, migratory and inshore fishery. By 1620, whaling was no longer possible in Labrador, and the fishery became the main resource of the territory. The Newfoundland Act 1698, which was designed to promote the migratory fishery, lead to land grant disputes throughout Labrador.^[1]
