Yet as developers rush to keep up with demand, they're destroying the very thing that brings in the tourists and their money; the sea and all its many creatures. Perhaps nobody is experiencing these changes more intimately than Abbie Marin and Lincoln Westby; fly fishing guides who spend their days out on the flats chasing the elusive Permit.
