2007 CBC Future of the Fisheries Award

Future of the Fisheries Award

Wesley Gove, a senior at Lubec High School, was presented with the Future of the Fisheries Award and a check for $200. Wesley owns a 35’ lobster boat which he has been restoring in the boat building program at Washington Academy. He has been lobster fishing since he was in first grade. Wesley’s boat handling skills were put to good use when he participated in the Cobscook Drift Study as a freshman at Lubec High School. He plans to go lobstering this summer and attend the Maine Maritime Academy in the fall. The Future of the Fisheries Award was made possible by the generosity of the Bruce McInnis Memorial Fund.
