Product Description
Thirty years of research have produced a book which examines the history and problems fishermen, marketers, and managers face every day--changes in technology, competition among the harvesters, and the devastating impacts of imports. The narrative deals with how the parties to the industry innovate and adapt. The communities within which the fishery developed and flourished are described as well (e.g., Southport, Harkers Island, Beaufort), along with (1) the modern forces of change reshaping their economic bases and cultural milieux, and (2) important changes in the racial and ethnic composition of the industry.
