On April 25, 1992, Marguerite Holloway interviewed Robert A. Brestolli in Haverstraw, New York. Brestolli reflects on his experiences growing up in a fishing community, learning techniques such as the use of t-nets and bucket nets from his uncle. He discusses the evolution of fishing practices in the region, shifts in market demands, and the challenges posed by environmental changes and regulatory actions. Brestolli shares insights into the culture of local fisheries, the decline in profitability, and his efforts to adapt by using anchor nets instead of traditional stake nets.
