Abstract:

The state's fisheries remain an integral part of eastern North Carolina's history and culture. Whether for commercial or subsistence purposes, fishermen have been active from prehistoric eras to modern dredging and trawling operations. Numerous species of fish and shellfish also contributed to the importance of fishing off the coast.
