Present
With the demise of the cod fishery, Savage Cove-Sandy Cove, as well as many other neighbouring communities, are suffering financially. The towns' population's has been steadily decreasing as residents leave their homes for better job opportunities elsewhere. However, a fish plant in Sandy Cove is still operating and serving neighbouring communities. Also, various industries still function such as the shrimp and lobster fisheries, as well as other available smaller fisheries and fur trading.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“An oblong puddle inset in the coarse asphalt; like a fancy footprint filled to the brim with quicksilver; like a spatulate hole through which you can see the nether sky. Surrounded, I note, by a diffuse tentacled black dampness where some dull dun dead leaves have stuck. Drowned, I should say, before the puddle had shrunk to its present size.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“To anticipate, not the sunrise and the dawn merely, but, if possible, Nature herself! How many mornings, summer and winter, before yet any neighbor was stirring about his business, have I been about mine! No doubt, many of my townsmen have met me returning from this enterprise, farmers starting for Boston in the twilight, or woodchoppers going to their work. It is true, I never assisted the sun materially in his rising, but, doubt not, it was of the last importance only to be present at it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We shall be better prepared for the future if we see how terrible, how doomed the present is.”
—Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
