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.
