What is the Voices from the Fisheries Project?
The Voices from the Fisheries Project was initiated to create a central repository –the Voices from the Fisheries Database– for consolidating, archiving, and disseminating oral history interviews related to commercial, recreational, and subsistence fishing in the United States and its territories. Oral history interviews are a powerful way to document the human experience with our marine, coastal, Great Lakes, major riverine environments, and our living marine resources. The Voices from the Fisheries Database is a powerful resource available to the public to inform, educate, and provide primary information for researchers interested in our local, human experience with the surrounding marine and fresh water environment.
