Tom Russell - Director I am the owner/operator of the Western Sunset, fishing Tuna and groundfish out of Port Hardy, where I live with my two sons. I am a lifelong resident of the North Island, growing up on my parent's west coast troller. More recent times find me longlining groundfish, with an annual Albacore season mixed in. I have been an active member and director in many west coast fishing associations. I believe that involvement in these associations is crucial at this level, as our fisheries contain a diverse range of stakeholders, with, at times, diverging interests. As a director of the BCTFA, I hope to retain the members opportunity to harvest North Pacific Albacore and promote our fishery as a best choice in today's environmentally sensitive climate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af32c96ec4eb79804f3fff0/1551148840682-I9X72FNECHL30389YZ0V/Resized_received_350646562338287_9632.jpeg Board of Directors - Tom Hearty- Director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af32c96ec4eb79804f3fff0/1584491677503-IQ1M0RPQDHF2WISCPO50/G.Brooks Board of Directors - Gordie Brooks- Director Gordie got his first boat, salmon troller Pacific Gale, with the help of BC Packers in 1973 (fishing was good back then) and in 1976 he bought the Azulemar. Gordie fished salmon, halibut, black cod, prawns and few trips of tuna in those years. In 1986 he bought the Moon Dancer and fished a lot of halibut, salmon, black cod, shrimp, tuna and prawns. In the last 15 years he has been fishing prawns and tuna. Gordie got involved with the BCTFA board of directors to try and help the fishery to maintain itself for the future of all fishermen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af32c96ec4eb79804f3fff0/1552497393361-VQJYGSM7ALL2FU86EEM9/Tad%2BLarden.jpg Board of Directors - Tad Larden- Director https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af32c96ec4eb79804f3fff0/1526338964611-8WY3HB33VJFIGQUHNA9A/fullsizeoutput_2e9d.jpeg Board of Directors - Peter Degreef - Vice President Peter is 45 years old, lives in Sidney and has been commercially fishing for 35 years. For the past 20 years he has skippered vessels for albacore tuna as well as various other fisheries. He started skippering his Uncles vessel the Pacific Safari. For the past 11 seasons he has skippered the Optimist # 1 which he is a partner in with his Uncle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af32c96ec4eb79804f3fff0/1540860565722-X6WP14IQJEWOYXG0G55F/fraser+-+tuna+2.JPG Board of Directors - Fraser Macdonald -Secretary I grew up in Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island and now live in East Vancouver when I'm not out fishing. I have been commercial fishing for 14 years with most of my experience in the spot prawn and albacore tuna fisheries. In 2016 I bought the Fv. Cold Fish and moor it at False Creek Fisherman's Wharf in the off season. The past 2 years I have also participated in bottom fish long-lining as a way to diversify both my experience and the Fv. Cold Fish's fisheries. I am interested in helping to make sure we as an association continue to elevate the profile and importance of the BC tuna fishery and our tuna products to both Canadians and government. This is with the goal of maintaining and improving a strong, economically viable commercial tuna fishery here in BC. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af32c96ec4eb79804f3fff0/1542156086255-Q4X4740CG6VH6L9QTTJM/IMG_3597.JPG Board of Directors - Gregg Holm- President/Treasurer 34 years fishing experience salmon, shrimp, and tuna.

At 15 I started working as a deckhand on trollers on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Like a lot of kids from that era I had my own boat at 20, and had built a freezer-troller in my early 20’s. In my mid-20’s, out of an excess of curiosity, I started going to university in the off-season. In 1988 I graduated from law school. I fished and practiced law for the next decade. Fishing won out, and I spent the next couple of decades fishing, raising a couple of fishermen, and getting involved in tuna administration and politics. These days I look after our farm and our seafood business, Natural Gift Seafoods. I keep an eye on our family boat, the NERKA 1, and do my bit to help the BCTFA keep the BC tuna fishery viable and strong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af32c96ec4eb79804f3fff0/1584491517936-91CP313NEV7PWM9WFKAN/D.Binnersley Board of Directors - David Binnersley- Director Dave grew up in the Nanaimo area and started fishing as a young kid with his dad being involved in many different fisheries. He bought his first boat at the age of 21. Dave currently lives in Parksville and has been involved in the fishing industry as owner/operator for the past 34 years fishing salmon, lingcod and albacore. In 2011, he bought the BC SUN and has actively fished albacore tuna in Canadian waters since then. Dave wanted to work on the BCTFA board of directors to do his part to help keep Canadian tuna a sustainable,and viable fishery in BC. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af32c96ec4eb79804f3fff0/1542156318513-OT8WQB7GB8KLORP9M0C8/IMG_3635.JPG Board of Directors - John Jenkins- Director 44 years fishing experience in prawns, gillnet herring, salmon, shrimp dragging, black cod, abalone and tuna.
