@ifishconf It was truly a FANTASTIC Conference! It is impressive how many people traveled from around the world but there are obviously so many places we still need to draw people from for #IFISH6.

looks like someone did catch me on film while i was speaking at #IFISH5.... twitter.com/ifishconf/stat…

One of my HEROES! twitter.com/ifishconf/stat…

Did you know: The new TC regulations require Written Safety Procedures for all measures that must be taken to protect persons on board, including measures to avoid ropes, docking lines, nets, and other fishing equipment that may pose a safety hazard?

After an excellent organized conference back home again. Thank you @ifishconf! Working together on safety and health all over the world in the fishing industry! @FISHplatform @Vissersbond

@AlaskaSeaGrant @UAFcfos Torie’s presentation of these important results at #IFISH5 earlier this week was fascinating. Thank you so much for the link!

Tory Baker and #UW researchers carried out a health study on Cordova, Alaska, #fishermen, with interviews, surveys, Fitbits and followup. The results? Hearing loss, shoulder disorders, fatigue and sleep apnea were diagnosed. ow.ly/YxGG30kvbgN @UAFcfos #SeaGrantFunded #NIOSH
