This is a MUST READ if you are interested in the ocean environment. This book is staggeringly comprehensive in its coverage of the many centuries of fishing as they developed and how they resulted in the ocean destruction that exists today.
Unfortunately it was, to me, so verrrryyyy dry that I really had to work hard to finish. If you like endless references to old salts journal excerpts (with old language styles and many mispellings), you may have a more favorable reaction.
The facts and statistics of over fishing will blow you away! It should serve as a clarion call for us to get busy and take measures to fix this.
