NEYFA Launches Fourth Annual Deckhand to Captain Training Program
The New England Young Fishermen’s Alliance (NEYFA) is proud to launch its fourth annual Deckhand to Captain Training Program, beginning April 16, 2025. Each spring, NEYFA brings together a select cohort of aspiring small-boat fishermen and women from New Hampshire, southern Maine, and northern Massachusetts. This year, six young candidates have been accepted into the free program after a thorough application review by our Board earlier this month. These individuals displayed the commitment and grit needed to start their journey towards becoming an owner-operator in New England’s small-boat commercial fishing fleet. Founded in 2022 by Executive Director Andrea Tomlinson, NEYFA is a Portsmouth, NH-based nonprofit with a mission to safeguard the future of the region’s fishing heritage. Through programming like Deckhand to Captain (DTC), NEYFA supports the next generation of fishermen with tools for success, on the water and on land. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 12:55
