Allen and Stefan Forbes’s “One More Dead Fish” tells the heartwrenching story of environmentally-friendly handline fishermen fighting to survive in a rapidly globalizing industry. In fascinating interviews with local fishermen, government officials, biologists, and industry CEO’s, we learn about complex regulatory, legislative, and environmental issues. This film grounds the viewer in a clear historical context as it explains one of the world’s great environmental disasters, the destruction of the Grand Banks fisheries. And in examining the often Orwellian language of the multinational fishing industry, “One More Dead Fish” explores the media’s failure to report on the true environmental costs of globalization. This film points the way toward saving the world’s fisheries before it’s too late.
Join Joe and Helen Garland and Ron Gilson after the film for what is sure to be an impassioned discussion on the state of the fishing industry.

Shamus
Tom Porter & Shamus
Tom Porter owns The Susan & Kimberly, a lobster boat. Tom is one of about six guys in this harbor that have the absolute best stories to tell. You could listen to the outrageous antics that he has lived through fishing for hours and hours and never get tired.
He brought down Shamus the day before yesterday, a 4 month old Irish Jack Russell. It’s kinda funny to see rough, tough Tommy Porter handle this little puppy.

Tom Ring In The Office
Here is Tom Ring sitting across from my desk here in the office. Tom Fishes for Lou Williams aboard The Orin C but used to fish with Linda Greenlaw, the female skipper from the Perfect Storm. Tom is one of the great storytellers on the Gloucester waterfront. Every time he steps foot in the office you can be assured there will be a spectacle.

Steve Repairing The Net After Making Damage
Stevie Mending The Net Aboard The Lady Jane
Here is Stevie mending the net after “making damage”. “Making damage” is a term used when the net goes over some hard bottom on the oceans floor and it tears the net.
I wonder when the last of these old timers are gone if we will lose those terms. Ringo, Stevie and Russell are all over 60 years old.
