425<p>&nbsp;</p>
426<p class="p1">The Bluefin Collaborative is a collective of US and Canadian fishermen that came together formally in 2022 to improve the management and sustainability of Atlantic bluefin tuna by sourcing data and promoting objective research. The official scientific narrative has changed little over numerous decades despite the hard work by under-funded, independent researchers throughout the Atlantic in their effort to answer unresolved questions needed for accurate assessments. We are here to change that by bringing the expertise, dedication, grit, and energy of those on the water, in the air, and on the waterfront into the process.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

694			<p style="text-align: center;">Chris Weiner is a 3rd generation bluefin harpooner out of Perkins Cove, ME. He helps operate the family harpoon vessel, the Elizabeth Ames, during the summer/fall Harpoon Category season. Chris has a B.A. in Government and Legal Studies from Bowdoin College and a Master&#8217;s in Policy, Planning, and Management from the Muskie School of Public Service.</p>
695<p>&nbsp;</p>
696<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chris has spent many years involved in both the science and management pertaining to numerous Gulf of Maine, East Coast, and Atlantic-wide fisheries. In recent years he has served lengthy terms on: the Advisory Committee to the U.S. Section to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), the Maine Offshore Wind Fisheries Working Group, the Maine Offshore Wind Research Consortium, the Maine Department of Marine Resources Advisory Council, the NOAA Highly Migratory Species Advisory Council, and the New England Fishery Management Council’s Atlantic Herring Advisory Panel</span>.</p>
697<p>&nbsp;</p>
698<p style="text-align: center;">Prior to helping found The Bluefin Collaborative, Chris spent many years formally involved in the management of Atlantic herring and mackerel, which are key forage stocks for Atlantic bluefin tuna. This included helping found and run a diverse industry stakeholder coalition and the New England Purse Seine Alliance, a group of traditional purse herring seine vessels from Maine.</p>
699<p>&nbsp;</p>
700<p style="text-align: center;">Despite this extensive time spent on forage stock management, Atlantic bluefin tuna management has been, and always will be, Chris’ obsession. Since 2020, he has become directly involved in the science arena and has been a part of numerous US delegations to meetings for both ICCAT and the SCRS.</p>

He currently owns and operates the Elizabeth Ames, a Harpoon Category vessel, and fishes from The Canadian border off Down East Maine down to northern Cape Cod. In the past, Steve helped form and operate both the East Coast Tuna Association, the American Bluefin Tuna Association, and a large and diverse industry coalition focused on Atlantic herring management. He has been heavily engaged on all levels of management from ICCAT to the ASMFC—dedicating much of his life to this passion. As one of the founders of The Bluefin Collaborative, Steve is intensely driven to improve how we assess and manage Atlantic bluefin tuna.</span></p>

He spent years learning from some of the top tuna fishermen in Massachusetts and has since become an accomplished tuna fisherman in his own right. He owns and operates both the Tunassity and Reel Deel out of Manchester, MA, which are vessels in the General Category and Angling Category, respectively. Chris and his family have a long history in the realm of research and science, and this background allows Chris to bring a unique perspective to the Board. Chris has been involved with The Bluefin Collaborative since it was just a (seemingly) far-fetched idea and has been instrumental in getting it off the ground.</span></p>

957charter boat, the Nancy Ann, out of Wychmere Harbor on Cape Cod when he was fifteen years old. He spent the next two decades working on and owning commercial fishing and charter boats from New England to Florida. In the early eighties he traded in his harpoon and hooks for a pilot’s license, and he has been a fish spotter ever since. While he ended up as far away as California flying for anchovy seiners decades ago, he has spent the bulk of his time as a pilot spotting for harpooners on Cape Cod. Norman still goes as hard as ever, and he is currently splitting his flying time between spotting Atlantic bluefin tuna for harpoon vessels, locating Great White sharks for eco-tourism operations and scientists, setting menhaden purse seine vessels, and helping find both ocean sunfish and sea turtles for researchers. With far too much on-the-water and in-the-air experience to list here, nobody brings a more holistic perspective to the table than Norman. </span></p>

966<p><span style="color: #ffffff">A Wedgeport, Nova Scotia is well known as a historical center of fishing for Atlantic bluefin tuna. Who better to represent this port—and Southwest Nova Scotia—than Camille Jacquard? True to his Acadian roots, Camille is relentless in his pursuit of lobsters, tuna, and the science needed to protect his community’s heritage. After starting out running the Rolling Thunder in 2009, Camille has gone on to run the Fin Seeker and now the Pelagic Predator. Camille is a strong advocate for the extensive bluefin industry in the Maritimes and a key member of TBC.</span></p>

970<p><span style="color: #ffffff">Captain Bryan Sears is a second-generation charter fisherman based out of Scituate, Massachusetts. He and his family have grown a strong reputation throughout the fishing community through building their successful fishing business, Mass Bay Guides, over the past 26 years. Bryan and his brother, Taylor, also own and operate Seabros. Fishing, which, among other things, hosts an influential podcast. The Sears brothers have an expansive following and can spread the word about science, proper fish handling, and many other topics given their large media footprint. Bryan is tireless in his pursuit of success, and we are lucky to have him on our Board.</span></p>
