Seafood Harvesters of America, a non-profit entity in Washington D.C. focused on ensuring a plentiful and lasting seafood harvest for America, is inviting applications for the post of executive director.
Strong candidates for the post will have extensive background of the fishing industry, plus a combination of skills in communications, non-profit management, government relations and sustainable seafood, Harvesters said.
Issues the organization is focused on range from reauthorization of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, and a common sense solution to a pending Environmental Protection Agency vessel discharge rule, to use of catch shares as a fisheries management tool.
Board members include two veterans of commercial fisheries in Alaska. Homer harvester Buck Laukitis also serves on the board of the Alaska Fisheries Development Foundation. Brent Paine, of Seattle, has served as executive director of United Catcher Boats since that organization’s inception in 1994.
More about the organization’s work and its positions on various issues can be found on its website, www.seafoodharvestes.org.
