Voices of the Maine Fishermen’s Forum

Mike Flanagan

With over 40 years of experience as a Merchant Marine Captain, Mike Flanagan wants to support young Mainers in pursuing a similar career path and building the skills necessary to work out at sea. In this interview, he explains how he is doing that by working with the Maine Ocean School and pushing for a discussion about drug use in the fishing community.

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