His father and grandfathers were shell-fishermen on Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay, laborers in an age-old trade. As a third generation quahauger, the industry is his life, and the drive to keep it sustainable is what makes up his family history. In <I>Bullrakers</I>, Huling answers these pressing questions and delivers a moving portrait of the men and women who work the waters of the Atlantic coast in the harsh environment of the shellfishing industry.  Huling argues that any successful sustainable food enterprise will likely resemble shell fishing in Rhode Island, an industry which has existed sustainably for over 150 years, with its complex system of governance, its fierce and obsessive workforce, and its conflicts within communities and between generations. This thought provoking book sets the complexities of sustainable food production against a heartwarming story of one family's enduring years of work on the seas.<div></DIV>
