Richie Maderia | Southern New England American Lobster Fishery Oral History Project |
Born into a fishing family in Stonington, Ct., Richie Maderia had his first experiences on a boat at the age of 9 before becoming a professional lobster fisherman after high school. Maderia’s experiences running a lobster fishing boat allowed him to see the industry boom in the 1980s through to the late 1990s when he began to see the lobsters — and the industry — die out. |

Shana Kuhse | Young Fishermen in the Northeast United States |
Shana Kuhse, 24 years old at the time of the interview, is a deckhand and captain in Stonington, CT, where she mostly works on a lobster and conch boat but also fills in on draggers in the wintertime. Shana got her start in fishing as a bait stringer in high school, then worked her way into a crew job and now runs the boat part of the time. Shana hopes that participating in interviews like this one will help show the public and policy makers that the fishing industry is diverse and strongly committed to its future. |
