Abstract:

North Carolina's Outer Banks is often the location of conflict between commercial fishermen and the combined forces of sport fishermen, conservationists, and environmentalists over the marine fisheries of the region. In this interview with North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission member Barbara Garrity-Blake and Susan West, a member of the North Carolina Joint Commission on Seafood and Aquaculture, they discuss the conflict and the coastal Carolinians who are involved. Together they authored a book, Fish House Opera, a work of non-fiction that delves into the struggle and how North Carolina's fishing communities deal with and adapt to it.
