This month's theme is “Bringing the Feminine into Fishing,” which is also a theme of Advocacy. I feel the themes complement each other so much because, since the beginning of our economic civilization, POCFs have been instrumental in keeping the industry going and protecting our fisheries, fishermen, and fishing families. And, the people at Oregon State University understand this on a deep level, and here’s how.
Our interview today is with Laurel Kincl, a professor at the College of Health at Oregon State University in Corvallis, OR.
In this episode, you’ll hear Laurel’s passion for what she does and how other industry supporters come together to support our commercial fishermen. Laurel’s partnered with many, including Englund Marine, various Oregon fishermen's wives’ groups, PFD manufacturers, AMSEA in Sitka, AK, and other collaborations to build a program to distribute free lifejackets to Oregon fishermen!
You also may be inspired by their efforts to bring a program like this into your fishing community.
I love learning about projects and programs out there whose goal is to help our fishing communities. There are more than we know, and learning about what they do shows that we are not alone.
Let’s Dive In!
