Abstract:
Along the North Carolina coast a hostile relationship exists between recreational and commercial fishermen. Each group for their own reasons fears the other and what they might do. Leutze discusses some of the perceptions the two groups have of each other. For example, commercial fishermen feel recreational ones are insufficiently regulated, while they have to deal with all kinds of rules, regulations, and quotas. Recreational fishermen think that commercial people are unconcerned about exploiting the fisheries. Leutze suggests airing these perceptions to reach a middle ground. For example, commercial fishermen do care about the fisheries because their livelihood depends on them.

North Carolina's commercial fishing harvest continues to drop. The 2005 harvest of finfish and shellfish totaled 79 million pounds, valued at $64.9 million. This is the smallest harvest on record and continues the downward trend that began in 1997. The menhaden catch was low, and blue crabs and shrimp, two other commercial mainstays, had decreased landings.

Commercial fishermen in the state face an increasingly difficult life. They deal with intense state and federal regulations, while facing stiff competition from foreign imports. Fish houses are disappearing, leaving fewer places to sell catches. Boats slips are losing out to developments. A new factor is the tension that exists between commercial fisherman and recreational anglers. Wilson discusses reasons for this tension and what can be done about it.

Abstract:
Issues that have buffeted North Carolina's commercial fishing industry over the past decade include declining fish stocks, competition from abroad, rising costs for fuel and maintenance, closings of polluted harvesting grounds, and storms. Because of this, many fishermen no longer depend on fishing for their sole means of livelihood. Currently 70 percent of them hold land-based jobs to make ends meet. Smith examines how a number of the fishermen are keeping afloat in these hard times.
