Description: Contrasts the stories of two Cape Cod cultures, one that is rustic and in the process of undergoing great change and the other that sustained an industry now losing its past to foreign competition and new technology. Includes the stories of Tiggie, the commercial fisherman who struggled to earn a living from the sea and Sandy, the shellfish biologist assigned to protect the sea's resources.
