Turning Tides

SOUTHBOUND MAGAZINE

In this quietly observed study, Allison Entrekin reports on a decimated oyster population on the Florida coastal town of Apalachicola and how its citizens are responding. With subtlety and elegance, Entrekin introduces us to people who have lost their livelihoods through the decline of the oyster population. What emerges is a portrait of an entire town grappling with its identity. In spite of the challenges she’s reporting on, Entrekin imbues this story with beautifully observed descriptions, bringing a quiet, hopeful presence to the narrative.
