The Fleet Behind the Fish
Behind every fish that makes its way from Alaska to dinner tables around the world is a fleet of hardworking people, specialized vessels, and an entire maritime ecosystem.
At the Port of Seattle, commercial fishing is about much more than the boats on the water. It’s the captains, crews, engineers, processors, dockworkers, shipyards, suppliers, and countless others who keep the industry moving from the waters of Alaska to the docks of Seattle and beyond.
Hear from leaders and fishermen who know this industry firsthand about what makes commercial fishing so challenging, rewarding, and sustainable. They share what it takes to work on the water, the many career paths available in the fishing industry, and why the people behind the fleet are what keep them coming back year after year.
Featuring:
Jim Johnson, President & CEO, Glacier Fish Company
John Henderschedt, President & CEO, Phoenix Processor Limited Partnership (PPLP)
Bob Hezel, Captain, America’s Finest
