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

• Volume 1: Diesel Engine Efficiency and Emissions Reduction Innovations

• Volume 2: Tools and Strategies to Enhance Propulsion Efficiency

• Volume 3: Tools and Strategies to Enhance Non-Propulsion Efficiency

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 and the Steering Committee advising National Fisherman on a 20-article series on topics related to fishing vessel energy efficiency and next-gen power sources. It is designed to provide members of both working groups 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 working group 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.
