Kessenuma - a port and community almost entirely dependent on fish.

As the intial shockwaves, both literal and figurative, subside in the aftermath of the Japanese earthquake, fishing ports like Kessenuma look to the future in an uncertain climate. If ports like Newlyn consider themselves big and important in relation to the GDP of Cornwall, consider the part played by Kessenuma - home to 68,00 residents of which 25,000 work in the fishing industry - the one port alone considerably bigger than the entire UK fishing industry, both shore and sea side!
