What We Are Doing
The Fishermen's Memorial raises awareness for Seattle's local fishing community. The mixed media sculpture was built in 1988 at Seattle's Fishermen's Terminal in honor of the fishermen who have died at sea. Atop is a bronze fisherman, shown pulling a halibut over the rail. We have adapted the image to additionally serve as the logo for the Eat on the Wild Side site.
The statue and the brave fishermen of current remain our inspiration to join together as the Fishing Vessel Owners' Association and Deep Sea Fishermen's Union as a means to train participants of the maritime industry through Crawford Nautical Training and to certify sustainably caught sablefish and halibut through the Marine Stewardship Council.
