Abstract
In the UK, fishing directly or indirectly sustains the welfare of many coastal regions and supports livelihoods beyond the catching sector. Inshore fisheries are under severe pressure from many quarters, including climate change, coastal development, rising costs, and unsuitable regulation. The sonic postcard Fishing for Life explores some of the many difficulties facing the fishing community in Wells-next-the-Sea. It also voices some of the strategies that these fishers use to cope. The postcard illustrates how people in the sector work hard to make themselves resilient and adaptable in ways that help them respond to current and future challenges. Fishing for Life features the voices of fishers from Wells and others working in the sector along this section of the Norfolk Coast who recount their experience of environmental, economic, social, and technological change.
