Abstract: The 2023 book titled "Endangered Species: Chronicles of the Life of a New England Fisherman and the F/V Ellen Diane" describes 55 years fishing on the Northwest Atlantic, including sea stories, science, and management. The seminar will summarize this memoir of commercial fisherman, who is a biologist and graduate of Boston University, and perspectives on sustainable fishing practices.
Biography: David Goethel retired from commercial fishing in 2022 and splits his time with his wife, Ellen, and parrots, Huey and Stuart, between Hampton, New Hampshire, and Stuart, Florida. In Stuart, he surf casts for pompano and other species. In Hampton, he fishes recreationally for the wide range of species in the Gulf of Maine. The author remains active in both science and fishery management at both the state and federal level, serving on one council advisory panel and one ASMFC advisory panel. He also serves on two volunteer fishing organizations' boards of directors, helping to promote sustainable fishing practices. David continues to promote cooperative research, scientists and fishermen working on research projects together to aid in solving the many problems that still plague fishery management.
