The fishing industry is in trouble. Without an increase in local sales, many fishermen may be forced to shut down their businesses. Most seafood is sent north rather than west into the state which could be part of the problem.

Abstract:

Getting to Portsmouth Island is a challenge but the journey is worth the effort, according to the author. Among the perks Portsmouth has to offer is an environment that may make one feel as if a trip has been taken back in time. Reason noted by Rumley for this feeling: Portsmouth’s population has dwindled to summer tourists and fishermen; the place hasn’t changed much since its Colonial beginnings.
