| Summary: | This programme charts the resources inherent in the world's rivers, lakes and oceans, and shows that this treasure trove is not merely a matter of food and money, but is equally a key to a meaningful life. When the men of the Pacific island of Mitiaro set out to fish for tuna, they do so from canoes hewn from trees they fell and lure the fish to them with the aid of shredded coconut. We also meet karaoke-singing fishermen on Vietnam's mighty Mekong river, and learn how cod from the Lofoten Islands, in the north of Norway, find their way to restaurant tables in far-off Italy. And in the United States, on the banks of the Columbia and Snake rivers, we fish for salmon together with Indians who are fighting to retain their ancient fishing rights |
