Among them are population density, global warming, agricultural run off, vehicular pollution, shellfish diseases, administrative restrictions, unprdictable weather patterns, and biological growth cycles. Nowhere has the downturn in commercial fishing been felt as intensely as on Tangier Island, six square miles of low land in mid-Bay, population 600. For hundreds of years the great majority of Tangier's working men and women have earned a living on the water. There are few other options for them on Tangier. Fishing Gone dramatizes the situation on Tangier Island, using it to illustrated the quandary faced by watermen on all of Chesapeake Bay. This crisp, one act play introduces the reader to a handful of Tangier Islanders as they come to grips with serious change in their lives, and contemplate an uncertain future." - from the inner front jacket flap.
