{"product_id":"the-maine-lobster-industry-cathy-billings-9781626194106","title":"The Maine Lobster Industry: A History of Culture, Conservation \u0026 Commerce","description":"Since the first recorded lobster catch in 1605, the Maine lobster fishery has grown into a multibillion-dollar force. Cathy Billings of the University of Maine Lobster Institute embarks on a journey from trap to plate, introducing readers to lobstermen, boat builders, bait dealers, marine suppliers and the expansive industry that revolves around the fishery. Maine lobster families extend generations back with an eye to their legacies. Strides in sustainability have been a hallmark of the Maine fishery throughout the centuries, from the time lobstermen themselves introduced conservation measures in the mid-1800s. Today, Maine's lobster fishery is a model of a co-managed, sustainable fishery. The people who work Maine's lobster fishery have developed a coastal economy with an international influence and deep history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cathy Billings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626194106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626194106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.09w x 0.34d","brand":"Cathy Billings","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939359228159,"sku":"9781626194106","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d539c58e-4ba9-4bbf-a496-ade3ce673a5e.jpg?v=1681441025","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-maine-lobster-industry-cathy-billings-9781626194106","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
