Hi Everyone... TWList-Help-Team member, Rick Austin, asked me to post the following: Program: MAYDAY! LOST AT SEA Series: NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SPECIALS The new season of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SPECIALS explores compelling topics in the areas of science adventure, wildlife and history. For thousands of years, man has ventured out to the sea to harvest its bounty, but in return for what the sea gives, it also takes. Danger is a fact of life understood by seasoned fishermen, but all too easily forgotten in an age of steel boats and modern rescue capability. Faced with depleting stocks, fishermen now take chances their fathers wouldn't have dared to take, and no amount of new technology can guarantee the safety of a fisherman who pushes too hard in an unforgiving sea. In the fishing business, catches now fetch high prices, but the ultimate cost of economic survival can be death at sea. It's a high-stakes game, and all too often the gamble doesn't pay off. There are more ways to die at sea than in a perfect storm. From an industry under pressure in New England, to a tale of arrogance and greed in the Bering Sea, to the tragic loss of seven young men from one community in the Irish Sea, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC takes an inside look at the world of commercial fishing. Meet the people and hear the stories of men who risk their lives to make a living from the sea. Jerry & Pam Munson Anacortes, WA 98221-3158
