PHOTO GALLERY: Crew training revealed

We were able to hold our first fishermen’s training program earlier this month. The images in this gallery give a sense of the breadth of training involved – from classroom work on gear to safety drills to boat visits. And there is a lot not pictured as well, discussions about management, insight into various scientific studies and research, navigational training, even knot-tying lessons. 

As you look at the images, many taken by Christine Hochkeppel of Salty Broad Studios, we hope you get a wider perspective of the training required to be successful on the back of the boat.

What we hope is also clear is the importance captains place on classes like these, because without reliable, skilled crew they can’t succeed.
