Description
The traditional shrimp trawler "Cameron and Connor" is tied a dock in Marshallburg Harobr in downeast Carteret county North Carolina. The only state along the US East Coast that allows trawling in sounds and estuary areas. Some point to this fact to a decline in fin fish. Reportedly for every pound of shrimp caught there are four pounds of by-catch, typically inmature fin fish, are also captured. While these fish are returned to the water, their survivability rate is virtually zero.
Marshallburg is one of the more remote coastal communities found along the Crystal Coast. It has a long and storied tradition of commercial fishing. This small fishing village is bordered by Core Sound.
