The expo is on

I can think of no better way to begin my stint as editor in chief than spending time in Seattle talking to fishermen.

The first Profitable Harvest Direct to Market Forum on Tuesday was a great way to kick off the week by delving into ways to move high-quality niche products forward and keep fishermen on the water and in the marketplace.

 

Pacific Marine Expo was off to a great start yesterday with full aisles, a great round of conferences and a keynote presentation from Jeff Steele of SeaLand Environmental, the company greening the crabber Time Bandit.

 

Spike Walker is at the show, signing his new book "On the Edge of Survival." Today at 2:30, catch the premiere of the incredible documentary "Lessons from the Galaxy: Tragedy and Courage on the Bering Sea." On Friday you won't want to miss the Fisherman of the Year contest at 1 p.m. And in the meantime there are thousands of industry people and products to see.

 

If you're in the area, come down to Qwest Field Event — and be sure to stop by booth 103 to say hi.

 

Thank you for your time.
