Why North Carolinian boats are fishing off New Jersey’s coast, and how a CSF might help

98

By studying the logbooks of fishing boats, researchers found that some fishing boats travel more than 250 miles to catch the fish that used to be in local waters. In response, researchers began investigating how local community supported fishery programs — like farm shares for fish — can affect fishing communities. That resulted in the creation of Fishadelphia, a CSF based in a South Philadelphia charter school.
