PFDs are popping up everywhere, and many fishermen are eager to share their stories of wearing them while they work. When a P.E.I. fisherman attended a safety demonstration in Nova Scotia and discovered the importance of having a ladder on board his boat in case a crew member goes overboard, he returned home and wrote an article in his community paper encouraging others to equip their boats with ladders, too. And last November, when the fishing season in Southwest Nova was delayed due to weather conditions, we heard fishermen comment in the media with things like, “Safety is the reason, nothing else. You never want to lose anybody,” and “If it saves one man’s life, it’s worth it.” These are just some of the actions we’re seeing and hearing about, but nonetheless, they are a strong sign of a shift in the industry. And we are doing everything we can to help grow this shift.
