Strategy
Fishing is required for cities to work on any water tiles. It also allows the building of Work Boats. These can be used to make fishing boats, which can garner the early food resources Fish, Crabs and Clams, and other resources later on. Work Boats are also useful for scouting coastal areas.
Civilopedia Entry
Man has long relied on the sea to provide sustenance. The most primitive people gathered mollusks and crabs from the sand; eventually they learned to make spears to capture the rich foodstuffs out of reach of hand. The fishing technology allows sophisticated advancements in fishing: building small coastal fishing vessels, weaving and deploying large fishing nets, constructing crab traps, and so forth.
