Summary:
The collapse of the North Atlantic cod fishery in 1992 was one of the world's worst ecological disasters, and in 1995 Spanish and Canadian trawlers faced off over the dwindling supply of turbot. Where there used to be plenty, there is now virtually nothing; fishing communities that once survived (or even prospered) now face ruin. The twenty essays in How Deep is the Ocean? take a detailed look at the evolution of the Canadian east coast fishery.
