Mark Gleason (right) won a $200 scholarship for his paper “Producer cooperatives in US fisheries: Examples from Lummi Island, Washington and the Bering Sea.” One of the case studies from his research is from the Lummi Island Wild Reef Net Coop that targets trans-boundary stocks of sockeye salmon primarily destined for the Fraser River in Canada. Mark is with Maile Sullivan, co-chair of the conference and Brian Schefke, doctoral candidate in History.
