Rhode Island’s GDP is $55.4 billion. The RI Fishing Industry draws in $163.4 million, which is less than 1% of $55.4 billion. I’m not sure where you’re getting the idea that fishing is a large part of the RI economy.

Is it really that small these days? New Bedford on it's own is over $450 mil. But NB's fleet is bigger than all of RI basically.
