A view on preservation of our fishingJanuary 30, 2000 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Mr. Wigan is an excellent writer (see his The Highland Estate) who is concerned for the natural resources of the sea. He researched many situations about fishing and overfishing including the decline of the Gulf Coast Redfish (Red Drum) due to overfishing by commercial fishermen and how this sad situation was changed by forward looking men and laws that have now led to a resergence of this game fish. He has many other examples, but this is the one with which the Americans should be most familiar. The book is well written and deserves a reading by those who are interested in the sea and its riches.
