Our Community

In Monterey, Moss Landing, and Santa Cruz, commercial fishermen and women are central to the vitality of our working harbors and rich cultural heritage. Along with them are fish processors and delivery drivers, marine mechanics and chefs, harbormasters and scientists. It takes a village to make sustainable seafood in Monterey Bay possible. Meet some of the members of our fishing community.

Walter Deyerle, F/V Sea Harvest IV

Fisherman

Walter Deyerle is the quintessential waterman. When the 30-year-old is not making a living catching halibut, rockfish, sablefish and Dungeness crab on the Monterey Bay, he’s surfing, diving, boating and sport fishing. He’s even paddled out and caught waves at Mavericks, a monstrous break just north of Half Moon Bay.
