Description

A High Low Tide: The Revival of a Southern OysterOysters are a narrative food: in each shuck and slurp, an eater tastes the place where the animal was raised. But that's just the beginning. Andr Joseph Gallant uses the bivalve as a jumping off point to tell the story of a changing southeastern coast, the bounty within its waters, and what the future may hold for the area and its fishers. With A High Low Tide he places Georgia, as well as the South, in the national conversation about aquaculture,

Oysters are a narrative food: in each shuck and slurp, an eater tastes the place where the animal was raised. But that's just the beginning. Andr Joseph Gallant uses the bivalve as a jumping off point to tell the story of a changing southeastern coast, the bounty within its waters, and what the future may hold for the area and its fishers. With A High Low Tide he places Georgia, as well as the South, in the national conversation about aquaculture, addressing its potential as well as its challenges.

The Georgia oyster industry dominated in the field of oysters for canning until it was slowed by environmental and economic shifts. To build it back and to make the Georgia oyster competitive on the national stage, a bit of scientific cosmetic work must be done, performed through aquaculture. The business of oyster farming combines physical labor and science, creating an atmosphere where disparate groups must work together to ensure its future. Employing months of field research in coastal waters and countless hours interviewing scholars and fishermen, Gallant documents both the hiccups and the successes that occur when university researchers work alongside blue-collar laborers on a shared obsession.

The dawn of aquaculture in Georgia promises a sea change in the livelihoods of wild-harvest shellfishermen, should they choose to adapt to new methods. Gallant documents how these traditional harvesters are affected by innovation and uncertain tides and asks how threatened they really are.

Good case
Color: Black
Great watch case. Fits all my 43mm-48mm watches. Any bigger they will run against each other. But altogether a solid purchase.

Men’s Watch Box w/24 Slot Display
Color: AllBlack, Color: AllBlack
This mens watch box looks amazing, and nicely fits 24 watches without worrying about damage to the other watches. Each slot has its own location, and not need to worry about the watches rubbing up against each other.

Nice case

Very nice case. Good presentation. Only issue is if watch is over 52mm they can make it a tight fit.

Nice Case with clear top for 24 Watches
Color: Black
This is my second watch case and I am very happy with it. I like the glass so you can view the watches from the top. This one has a flip up latch which I also like because you can reach down and open the case with one hand. The pillows are a good size, not too big so they do not stretch out your watch bands. I specifically wanted a case to hold as many watches as possible and 24 is about the biggest I could find in this configuration, meaning a box and not some kind of cabinet which I do not have room for
