For thousands of years, men have been fishing off the coast of Devon, providing both a livelihood and food. Over the past thirty years, there has been as sharp a decline in the fishing fleet as their has been in the fish stocks around the coast and Devon fisherman have been in the decline. Today, only a few hundred fishing boats, both inshore and deep sea, still ply their trade from harbours on both the north and south Devon coasts. Stuart Lenton shows us the boats that remain as well as the harbours they operate from.
