Society & Culture
John Page has spent spent a lifetime on Moreton Bay, following his father into life as a commercial fisher. He quite literally depends on what he observes and understands of life in the Bay. John shared with me a bit of history around the local seafood industry (he's also currently the Dep. Environment Rep for the Moreton Bay Seafood Industry Association), how our tastes have changed, and what changes he's seen in the Bay over the last few decades. We also talked a little about what it's like to be a commercial fisher, and how people respond to commercial operators - both on the water and when they are your next-door neighbour! Check the blog for more on commercial fishing, and what wild-caught fishers offer our community (PS - it's not just fish!)
