Voices of the Maine Fishermen’s Forum

Dave Cousens + Edwin McKie

South Thomaston, Maine and Souris, PEI

Dave Cousens and Edwin McKie speak about how their work to increase communication between Canadian and Maine lobstermen has benefitted both groups by obtaining fair prices and learning techniques from each other. They talk about a number of collaborations between the two countries, from the inception of the Lobster Institute in Orono to educational trips for young fishermen.

Interviewed by Natalie Springuel and Corina Gribble at the 2019 Maine Fishermen's Forum. To hear the full interview, please visit NOAA’s Voices Oral History Archive.
