Alan Lovewell | Voices of the Bay |
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 | Voices of the Bay |
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. |

Jiri Nozicka, Part 1 | Voices of the Bay |
Though he comes from the ocean-less land of the Czech Republic, Jiri Nozicka has developed a masterful understanding of fishing and its benefits. He explains that fishing as an industry does more than just put fresh fish in the hungry mouths of tourists every day, but provides a multitude of jobs at various levels within the fish to table process. Even those who work 9-5 jobs in processing plants or transporting the fish rely upon those who catch the actual product for their livelihood, an important symbiotic relationship that Jiri brings to light. |
