The event was a great achievement and brought together local and state officials and approximately 30 fishermen. For a group that generally has not been present at public forums in the past, this turnout signified the importance of the subject.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-733\" title=\"Gullah\/Geechee Fishermen Listening Session-Beaufort_SC_047\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/edfish\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2010\/01\/Af-Am-Fishermen-Listening-Session-Beaufort_SC_047.jpg\" alt=\"Gullah\/Geechee Fishermen Listening Session-Beaufort_SC_047\" hspace=\"5\" width=\"314\" height=\"209\" align=\"right\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/edfish\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2010\/01\/Af-Am-Fishermen-Listening-Session-Beaufort_SC_047.jpg 314w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/edfish\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2010\/01\/Af-Am-Fishermen-Listening-Session-Beaufort_SC_047-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 314px) 100vw, 314px\" \/>According to Queen Quet, seafood is one of the major sources of employment for the Gullah\/Geechee. During the meeting, the fishermen openly shared their concerns about the fishing industry, drawing comments from nearly everyone in the auditorium throughout the night.<\/p>\n<p>The adversities identified by the community included size and catch limit restrictions, limited access to docks and oyster beds, depletion of fish stocks, unawareness of changing regulations and management decisions, and rising costs. These are the type of issues confronted by many of the fishermen with whom EDF works.\u00a0 Although the fishermen looked to EDF to present solutions to the issues identified, they also saw the value in shaping a collective voice. When asked, there was an incredible consensus by the fishermen to form a Black fishermen association encompassing the South Atlantic region.<\/p>\n<p>The information gathered from these sessions will be shared with political leaders such as <a href=\"http:\/\/clyburn.house.gov\/district-gullah.cfm\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Jim Clyburn<\/strong><\/a> (D-SC) and members of the Congressional Black Caucus to bring awareness to an issue affecting the livelihoods of their constituency and begin to chart a way forward. We intend to proceed with another listening session in North Carolina in April.<\/p>\n<p>As the session concluded, the attendees were interested in keeping this momentum strong and inquired about a follow-up meeting taking place. Needless to say, we were extremely heartened about this great start.\u00a0 We will work to continue to build a strong relationship with this community and help them find solutions to their challenges that will result in sustainable and healthy fisheries.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nicole Smith is\u00a0a\u00a02009 \u2013 2010 Oceans Program Fellow working to engage African-American fishermen in the U.S. southeast. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Oceans program has developed robust relationships with an array of people across the U.S. including fishermen, scientists, academics, and political leaders; however, it\u2018s not every day that it works closely with royalty.
