Description

On Beals Island, while most jobs are centered around lobstering, boat building, trap building, and seafood distribution, the fishing community is dying away as more tourists replace the native island population. Benjamin Brady explores how the changes on Beals Island could force lifelong residents to leave to find new work, and speaks to Cole Beal, who's family has lived on Beal's Island since 1775.
