AGAINST THE TIDE is a true tale of four New England fishermen in which every page exposes profound sentiments on maritime history, maritime ecology, and the articulated celebration of a special American place.

This book explores the threatened world of small-boat fisherman, capturing the lives of men whose livelihood is closely tied to the harsh environment of the sea. Richard Adams Carey spent a year working alongside fishermen off the shores of Cape Cod. What resulted is this book, a portrait of a declining industry and depleting natural resources. It deals admirably with complicated issues of natural history and humanism, showing great respect for both the ocean and the fishermen that depend on it.
