Originally from a small fishing community on the east coast, Alan Lovewell came to California for school, and soon realized most Californians were not eating seafood from California. Understanding the importance of connecting the local fishing industry to the Monterey Bay community, Alan and his business partner started Local Catch Monterey, a community supported fishery (CSF). Local Catch Monterey has relationships with many of the local fishermen in the Monterey Bay Sanctuary and delivers local, fresh, sustainable seafood to consumers on a weekly basis.

Jim Moser a local fisherman of salmon and albacore for thirty-seven years up and down the west coast. He admits that science has changed a fisherman's method of fishing and searching for fish has become more efficient. Monetary has changed as well; sometimes a fisherman's price offers does not agree with the market's pocket. Moser believes that salmon season would start back up again when policy makers finally fix the problem with water conditions and nature would take over after that.
