Fish and Fishing Forever

Anthony Charles discusses the importance of fish in the ocean, fishing as a livelihood, and the sustainability of both fish and fishing. He focuses in particular on the Atlantic coast of Canada, and provides a first-hand account of the disastrous collapse of the cod fishery in the early 1990s.
