Abstract

Finding Fish is the cautionary tale about the sustainability wars between fishermen, scientists and government regulators in the Gulf of Maine fisheries. Part myth, part science fiction, Finding Fish takes place in the future when food is scarce and the oceans have been nearly depleted of fish. But one fisherman on the Maine Coast keeps in the catch. Could his luck have anything to do with his strange new wife? Does his despondent father know anything? The people in power would do anything to find out, especially "The Committee," who has sent the fisherman's brother to reel him in-and his secrets. Nature and weather are central characters in this drama about sustainability through the lens of one family's struggles.
