This book explores how fishers make the sea productive through
their labour, using technologies ranging from wooden boats to
digital GPS plotters to create familiar places in a seemingly
hostile environment. It shows how their lives are affected by
capitalist forces in the markets they sell to, forces that shape
even the relations between fishers on the same boat. Fishers
frequently have to make impossible choices between safe seamanship
and staying afloat economically, and the book describes the human
impact of the high rate of deaths in the fishing industry. The book
makes a unique contribution to understanding human-environment
relations, examining the places fishers create and name at sea, as
well as technologies and navigation practices. It combines
phenomenology and political economy to offer new approaches for
analyses of human-environment relations and technologies. This book
is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14, Life
