A Report upon the Mollusk Fisheries of Massachusetts
Massachusetts. Commissioners on Fisheries and Game and David Lawrence Belding
Massachusetts once feared its clam and oyster beds were running out. This state report surveys the shellfisheries in decline and proposes a system to farm the tidal flats back to health. A clear-eyed look at conservation and coastal livelihood. See how a fishing state tried to save the shellfish it depended on.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
