| Abstract |
This beautifully illustrated volume from the Nat. Marine Fisheries Service is about America’s bountiful fisheries resources & the Americans who fish for them. It honors those who have struggled to make a living under grueling, dangerous conditions, & other who have lost their lives in that struggle. The book depicts the rise &, sometimes, the fall of businesses that harvest marine stocks. And it exposes the mystery & beauty known to those who gather up the great gifts off America’s shores. This book provides the American public with a snapshot of the nation’s fisheries as we move into the new millennium, to tell them who fishes & how, what their problems are, & how they are solving them. Hundreds of color photos. |
