Fish Fishery, so important before the disaster of 1953, has slidely collapsed. Of course there are hundreds of fishermen who sail out, but it isn’t as good as it used to be. Some species become rare and only big firms with big trawlers remain profit giving. Although all of this there is that Zeeland feeling inside of the men who fish. This everlasting struggle against sea and the fact that "the sea gives and the sea takes" has give an extra dimension to the lives of the fishermen in Zeeland. Therefore many of them remain fishing in the waters of Zeeland.
