Against
the Tide: The Fate of the New England Fisherman
Richard Adams Carey, Harry Foster (Editor)
Like many kids fortunate enough to spend summers by the shore, writer/journalist
Richard Adams Carey grew up with a healthy respect for fishermen and the
sea, "a world of astonishing color and shape and texture, of surprise and
a perceptible knife-edge of menace." During the '90s, when headlines described
the demise of New England's small-boat family fishermen, he decided to
head back to Cape Cod to learn what he could about a threatened way of
life and the forces--political, commercial, ecological--which imperil the
survival of the fish the industry depends on. To this end, he spent a year
working alongside four veterans of the Cape's inshore waters: a crewmate
on a dragger (a boat that catches groundfish with a dragnet towed along
the ocean bottom); a lobsterman; a long-liner (who sets quarter-mile or
longer fishing lines sporting baited hooks every three feet); and a quahog
dredger (essentially a clammer who harvests in bulk). Carey deftly weaves
the details of their hard-won, unpredictable lives with passages on local
and global fishing history, the minutiae of national and regional legislation
severely regulating the fishing industry, the vicissitudes of the weather,
and a smattering of stories and anecdotes. Throughout colonial times, for
instance, fishermen regularly caught lobsters 4 feet long and weighing
45 pounds! Such an ancient, sizable creature is nearly inconceivable today.
Despite the tenacity of the men he fished with, Carey acknowledges that
the owner-operators of small family boats off New England are likely going
the way of the family farmer. Yet he reminds us that the issues deciding
their fate concern us all: "how to tap this continent's wealth without
plundering and despoiling it; how to reconcile our hard-wired demand for
growth and consumption with a husbandman's concern for sustainability;
how to mark our limits and resolutely stay within them." --Svenja Soldovieri
