Attention crab boat crewmen

Are you a crab boat crewman interested in learning more on how to buy and finance Bering Sea crab quota share?

Well, here's your chance.

A workshop on the topic is planned for May 3 in Seattle's Leif Erikson Hall. Here's a flier with more details.

"We have also reserved the Fishermen's Hall in Kodiak and will have a teleconference line set up," says Edward Poulsen, executive director of the trade association Alaska Bering Sea Crabbers.

The workshop is intended to "educate crew regarding opportunities to purchase and finance crab quota share," Poulsen says. "Crew and owners are encouraged to attend."
