Present

However, a fish plant in Sandy Cove is still operating and serving neighbouring communities. Also, various industries still function such as the shrimp and lobster fisheries, as well as other available smaller fisheries and fur trading.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which she wages war is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or of civilization.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The whole constitution of property on its present tenures, is injurious, and its influence on persons deteriorating and degrading.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“yet when all is said
It was the dream itself enchanted me:
Character isolated by a deed
To engross the present and dominate memory.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
