Description:The Coast Guard says that commercial fishing is the nation's most dangerous line of work. That's the bad news. The good news is that you can help beat the odds if you take some time to improve your knowledge of fishing safety. This book can help. It explains in clear language how you and your crew can prevent accidents and how to survive accidents if they happen. The 200-page, easy-to- read book covers how to read the weather, safely handle gear, avoid fatigue, survive a sinking, administer first aid, prevent and fight fires, choose survival equipment, rescue a man overboard, and build a shelter if you're beached. The book also gives advice on how to prepare your vessel, safety gear, and crew so problems don't escalate into disasters; and provides a refresher course on rules of the road, stability, anchoring, emergency radio use, and other fundamentals of good seamanship.
