Hard Times and a Nickel a Bucket: Struggle and Survival in North Carolina's Shrimp Industry

Rating:
Summary: An informative, easy read
Review: This is a comprehensive and entertaining history of the development of commercial fishing in the southeast. It is also very informative with regard to the momentum coastal development has, and which is threatening the source of its development in the first place--fishing. As multiple use zones, our coastal communities now are the intersections of a variety of conflicting interests. This is one of the few books that chronicles how this has happened, and the incredible ability of fishermen to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances.
