Fishing As Religion | Fisheries Reform Act Part II

Passions and tensions were high as a citizen-group of commercial fishermen, sport fishermen and environmentalist traveled around the state seeking public opinion on fishery policy. After 10+ town halls, the group -- often at odds -- drafted recommendations ultimately used by legislators in the Fisheries Reform Act of 1997. In this episode, we learn just how personal the political was to the citizens who helped craft the FRA.

Troubled Waters | The Fisheries Reform Act Part I

This special 3-episode Lo & Behold season chronicles the story of the 1997 Fisheries Reform Act (FRA), a bill that dramatically changed the way North Carolina's coast was fished and regulated. Three years prior to the law, the state’s legislature forced a moratorium on the sale of commercial fishing licenses and creation of new fishery policy. Back then rapid development, overfishing and pollution gravely threatened North Carolina’s coastal habitats and communities. In this episode, we hear just how bad things were.
