Course Description

This course explores New England's fishing industries through fishermen and the seafood they catch. We'll look at how fishing has changed, and how it's been interpreted by visitors and reflected in memory and popular culture. Lastly, we'll consider the political, cultural, and environmental issues facing today's fishermen and seafood eaters.
