Fleet Vision

The Menemsha Fisheries Development Fund presents Menemsha: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow with Warren Doty on Thursday, August 12 at 5 p.m. at the Chilmark Public Library.

Mr. Doty will speak about the fishing fleet in Menemsha, what it was years ago, what it is today, and the hope for the future. He will speak about a new project called Fleet Visioning. “The year 2020 is just 10 years into the future. Where do we want to be when that day arrives?” Mr. Doty said.

The fund was founded in 2007 with a mission to act as a change agent, to provide vision, logistical and financial support for new initiatives and new directions for commercial fishing in the town of Chilmark. In addition to its annual lecture series, the fund has assisted with several aquaculture projects, including the proposed offshore mussel farm.

Admission to the lecture is free.
