age of Rhode Island fishermen is going up, and access to licensing, training, and financing is more limited for today's young fishermen than it was a generation ago. At this workshop, we'll hear from several young fishermen in RI who have embraced fishing
as a career: their personal experiences, barriers they've observed, and hopes and dreams for the future of the industry. Then we'll listen to a panel of advocates from RI fisheries as well as other states and industries who are working to reduce barriers to
young people: Dave Ghiglioti/Jeff Grant (RI Shellfishermen's Association), Hannah Heimbuch (Alaska's Next Generation of Fishermen project), and Tess Brown Lavoie (Young Farmer Network of Southeast New England and Land for Good). We'll wrap up with a discussion
of potential pathways for increasing participation and access for young people in commercial fisheries. Snacks will be served and a cash bar is available. Audience: fishermen, prospective fishermen, educators, policy makers, food system advocates.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:.25in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#252525">RI’s commercial fishermen have been noticing changes in the make-up and abundance of our local seaweed communities, with implications for fishing and fish stocks. These
include periodic outbreaks of nuisance seaweed like <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Heterosiphonia japonica</span></em> that clog fishing nets and decreases in estuarine populations of brown seaweeds like rockweed and kelp. At this workshop,
fishermen will have a chance to exchange observations with seaweed reseracher Lindsay Green from the URI Department of Biology. We’ll talk about what research is available to shed light on these changes, and what sorts of monitoring could be done in the future
to understand them better. Snacks will be served. Audience: commercial fishermen and shore-side businesses. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

along with Chatham weir fishermen focuses on the responses of squid to temperature, oxygen, wind, and other factors. At this workshop, Owen will reveal what he and the fishermen are finding, and how it relates to the science and management of squid in a changing
climate. Snacks will be served. Audience: commercial fishermen and shore-side businesses. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
