This will be a “book club”-style discussion group focused on the first five volumes of the Technology Pathways to a Low Carbon Fishing Fleet series:

• Volume 1: EPA Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) National Grants Program

• Volume 2: EPA Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) Tribal Grants Program

• Volume 3: EPA Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) State Grants Program

• Volume 4: USDA Rural Energy for America Program (REAP)

• Volume 5: California’s Carl Moyer and Related Programs

Participants will read the volumes prior to the meeting and discuss their reactions and takeaways as a group.

This is a required event for individuals participating in the Low Carbon Fleet Fellowship. It is designed to provide members of this group with a grounding in the knowledge compiled from fishermen across Alaska, the West Coast, and New England during the research phase of Transition to a Low Carbon Fishing Fleet initiative, so that they may build on it through their activities in the year ahead. Other interested members of the fishing industry are welcome to join as well. Everyone attending should prepare for this session by completing the required reading.
