Abstract:
Wanchese in Dare County is changing economically. Once a booming fishing village with hundreds of fishing trawlers crowding the docks at Wanchese Industrial Park, now barely a dozen dock there. The park now hosts other businesses from boatbuilders to a seafood processor to a brewery. Gross sales are expected to be around $4.5 million in 2001. Green discusses this change from fishing economy to a more diversified one.
