For centuries, the fates of people living along the east coast of
Canada and the United States have been tied to the fishery and the
harvesting of the northwest Atlantic began long before Europeans
first settles these shores. Today, overfishing and a changing ocean
environment threaten many fish stocks. Yet despite the many ongoing
challenges the fishing industry persists, still central to the
economic well-being of North America. It is also at the core of
cultural identity from Newfoundland and Labrador to the Eastern
Seaboard. Heres the Catch celebrates the finfish species that are
the reason many communities remain linked to the northwest Atlantic
Ocean. It also explores what could be lost or gained from this
historic resource in the coming years depending on our actions. Do
we continue to undermine this vast ecosystem? Or will we manage it
and the fishery in ways that allow these fish stocks to once again
flourish? In the foreword, renowned fisheries scientist George Rose
is cautiously optimistic about the future. For his part, author
Wade Kearley provides a wealth of detail about the astonishing
variety of fish we harvest from the sea, giving you insight into
the complexity of factors affecting the health of both the fish and
the fishey.
