Undersail: Saving the skipjacks

Article Abstract:

A boom in oyster fishing meant great times for skipjacks during the early twentieth century but gradual over harvesting, disease and pollution saw a steep decline in oyster population because of which owners of skipjacks found it hard to maintain them. A lot of programs are envisaged to save the skipjacks.
