Quick overview of our first public call out at the Maine Fishermen's Forum 2023 in Rockland, Maine.
Showing up
If you came by our table, you'll know all we did was trade lessons between the salts on our team and anyone who would listen. We came ready despite the snowfall with one of George's new traps to give demos to junior skippers, had pictures of Jerry's haddock tracking and charts of the planned wind farm areas throughout the Gulf of Maine distributed by NOAA and BOEM.
Showing out
While Shark Bait manned the booth, Jerry and George were busy down in the ballrooms giving a line of questioning that both irritated and bonded those who had the patience to listen. Hop over to our Videos section if you want, we were able to get a few panels recorded. Mixed bag in terms of productive conversations.
Wrapped it Up
This was our first public event as NEFSA, learned quite a bit about how to represent the fisheries. Thank you to everyone who took the time to speak with us, can't wait to see how we build our alliance as our ocean's wild harvesters.
