Quote of Note: Hans Haram
"Used to be when I fished around these parts you could just go out in a small boat and trawl for fish off the stern . . . but it is different now . . . fishermen have been using large, heavy nets . . . dragged along the bottom for two hours . . . fishermen catch more fish in a shorter time [but] they kill the water life -- the stuff fish feed on. So every year the fish are driven farther out to sea and every year the fishermen follow them out. In this way, the nets are bad."
Hans Haram, an employee of Sam Cahoon's Harborside Fish Market of Woods Hole, Massachusetts, which closed in 1966, quoted in an article originally published in The Falmouth Enterprise in 1945 and reprinted February 21, 2006.
