I’ve just returned from two weeks on the west coast meeting with community-supported fishery programs, fish markets, and other people engaged in alternative distribution chains.  Big thanks to all the people who kindly sat down and chatted with me, including Jeff Wong from Community Supported Fishery in Garibaldi, OR, Rob Taylor at West Coast Clams, Aaron Longton from Port Orford Sustainable Seafood, Leesa Cobb from the Port Orford Ocean Resource Team, Larry Collins from the San Francisco Community Fishing Association, Alan Lovewell and the whole crew from Real Good Fish in Moss Landing, CA, Sarah Rathbone from Santa Barbara Community Seafood and Dock-to-Dish LA, and Pete Halmay, Luke Halmay, Kevin Fukushima, and other folks at the Tuna Harbor Dockside Market!

This trip was made possible by Josh Stoll from LocalCatch.org.  Also, big thanks to Carla Norwood from Community Voice Consulting and Working Landscapes!
