The great gulf

the long version

"In The Great Gulf, David Dobbs takes us on a series of voyages over the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank, depicting the challenges facing John Galbraith, Linda Despres, and Jay Burnett, dedicated scientists with the National Marine Fisheries Service working to determine how many fish there really are, and Dave Goethel, a fisherman with 20 years' experience who struggles to maintain his livelihood amid increasing regulation.". "For anyone who has read Cod or The Perfect Storm, this book offers the next chapter of the story - how today's fishermen and fisheries scientists are grappling with the collapse of this fishery and trying to chart, amid uncertain waters, a course toward its restoration."--BOOK JACKET.
