Historical Note

According to the collector, 1974-1980 were “important years in the history of the fishery. During that time two significant, political changes occurred: establishment of the 200-mile limit, and ‘limited entry.’ The groundfish industry was restarted, crab depletion became a serious issue, and there were many [mostly] international conflicts with Japan, the Soviet Union, Poland, Taiwan, Korea, Canada and Seattle.”
