Did you know you’re already advocating for your fishery and don’t even know it? One of the most significant support systems for commercial fishermen is the partners. Not only do we take care of “shoreside duties,” but we (arguably) have more access to help protect our fisheries from regulations without merit (and I know you know what I’m talking about!).

In this episode, I discuss easy ways to be proactive in your fishery if you choose to. I spoke with several Partners of Commercial Fishermen about what they do or have done to create a presence in political meetings and help spread the word that wild-caught seafood is essential locally and globally.

You have significant, influential power that can harnessed in the commercial fishing industry, and in this episode, I discuss how to do it. Let's Dive In!
