Description
Fishing Lessons: Artisanal Fisheries and the Future of Our Oceans by Kevin M. Bailey explores the changing dynamics of small-scale fisheries and their sustainability issues, both fiscal and ecological. Through place-based portraits, Bailey shares stories of decline and success from around the world, including Norway's Wenche, a sea Sámi fisherwoman, and Paolo Vespoli in the Gulf of Naples. Bailey's journey takes him across vast waters, from the Bay of Fundy to Monterey and the online marketplaces, as he examines how we gather food from the sea and what we gain and lose with these shifts. He charts the fast-shifting current of global fisheries, revealing both the challenges and potential solutions for the future of our oceans. With a deep understanding of artisanal fisheries and their relationship with larger ocean ecology, Bailey offers a nuanced perspective on the complex issues facing small-scale fisheries today.
