This title looks at offshore fishing. Around the coast of much of NorthAmerica fishing stocks have greatly declined as a result of overfishingpollution and global warming. Nova Scotia in the northeast of Canada oncehad a huge fishing industry. In 1753 people from Germany Switzerland andFrance came from Europe to set up colony at Lunenburg on the coast. They soonset up a fishing and shipbuilding industry. The community grew until about1980 when the fishing industry largely stopped. Since then the community hashad to reinvent itself. It is still largely based on the old industries buttourism is as important. Lunenburg has a population of about 3500 people. «
