On April 6, 2011, Georgen Charnes and Nantucket Lighthouse Middle School students Katie Ponce and Evelyn Hudson interviewed Carl H. Sjolund at his home in Nantucket. Sjolund, a 15th-generation Nantucketer with Norwegian paternal roots, is a seasoned commercial and bay scalloper who has worked extensively in fisheries from Alaska to New England. In the interview, Sjolund reflects on his lifelong experiences in the fishing industry, including distinctions between bay and sea scalloping, and changes in fishing practices due to regulations and technological advances.
