In this workshop, researchers affiliated with the project will present initial findings from interviews with fishing vessel owners throughout Alaska, the West Coast, and New England. Attendees will be invited to engage in a vigorous discussion about the options to power Bellingham's fishing vessels in a world where diesel may become scarcer and more expensive. Participants will be asked to consider what kinds of public policies may be needed to build a bridge from today's diesel-powered fleet to a low-carbon fleet of the future. Ideas generated during the workshop will inform the findings of the upcoming report on "Accelerating a Transition to a Low Carbon Fishing Fleet” and will ensure that fishermen are in the driver’s seat of their own energy transition.
