WHATS'S THE CATCH?

摘要

Dave Marciano first started working on commercial fishing boats when he was ten. Unlike many from his hometown in Gloucester, Massachusetts, Marciano didn't have deep generational ties to the sea. His father sold insurance. He nevertheless saved up the money to buy his first boat in 1993- the Angelica Joseph, an 11-metre, Maine-built lobster rig.rnBut in May, things changed dramatically for Marciano, 45, when regional fisheries managers instituted a new system to regulate the harvesting of 'groundfish'- cod, haddock and other predators that live on or near the sea floor. Convinced that he could no longer survive financially, he sold his fishing permit. He doubts he'll find a buyer for his current boat.
