The following are selected chapters from a
new book by a former Lossie fisherman. They recount the town’s fishing
heritage from the 19th
century and detail its fleet’s rise to prosperity and its subsequent
demise under the European Union’s Common Fisheries Policy. The chapters
go on to describe similar fisheries and fishery cultures in other parts
of the world.
