Voices of the Maine Fishermen’s Forum

Edwin and Freda McKie talk about what it means to go lobstering on Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada, touching upon the gear they use, the regulations in place, and the different social dynamics on different parts of PEI. They also reminisce about young Maine lobstermen and students visiting their fishing community on PEI and the importance of equipping the younger generations of fishermen with real-life skills.
