Safety Training and Injury Prevention for the Next Generation of New England Fishermen Project Summary The State of Maine’s economy depends on fisheries and maritime industries and the lobster industry is arguably the most valuable east coast fishery, and the second most valuable fishery in the nation in 2019 at 132 million pounds in landings with an ex-vessel value of $540 million[1]. The fishery is a remarkable example of co-management but yet over the past three decades the fleet has observed a notable graying of the fleet. In response to this, MCCF invested in the next generation of fisheries stewards through the Eastern Maine Skippers Program (EMSP), which continues to evolve in response to new demands. EMSP is delivered through an educational collaborative with local schools and teachers, which enables us to reach as many as 80 and 110 students per year, and in the most needing and impoverished counties in Maine with 18% poverty rates, and 12% unemployment rates (Hancock, Washington, Knox counties). This area encompasses commercial lobster fishing zones A, B & C, which together represent 72% of the 6,500 active lobster licenses held in Maine and generate upwards of 80% of household income in these rural underserved communities[1]. Educating these students about sustainable fishing industries is not only beneficial for Maine’s economy, but vital to New England. The need for innovative and frequent safety training and occupational wellness education is also evident considering two recent entanglement fatalities (Stonington, ME and Jonesport, ME) and 18 emergency responses from Search and Rescue by U.S. Coast Guard east of Rockland in Maine over the past two years. The state of Maine has also been proactive in addressing maritime safety legislation, including being the first state to require new boater certification. In response, MCCF proposes to deliver effective safety training, addressing the immediate needs of Maine’s primary fisheries over a three-year period, promoting maritime safety relevant behavior in coastal community fisheries in Maine through the following core activities: 1.) Deliver safety and survival training for annual cohorts of students from eight high schools, including recent post-graduates for a total of 250 students over 3-years; 2.) Build capacity in the project area by training 2 additional qualified drill conductor instructors in eastern Maine; and 3.) Deploy training materials created in previous grant period pertaining to repetitive biomechanical overload and occupational hazards including deck safety, vibration, noise, and UV radiation. We anticipate that the outcomes of our proposed training projects will show changes in the safety-relevant behavior through a cultural shift in safety minds behavior in Maine’s commercial fisheries, and reduce risk of injury through cultural shift in attitude and awareness of safety.

下一代新英格兰渔民的安全培训和伤害预防 项目概要 缅因州的经济依赖于渔业和海运业以及龙虾 工业是有争议的东海岸最有价值的渔业，以及美国第二大最有价值的渔业 2019 年，该国的卸货量为 1.32 亿磅，船舶前价值为 5.4 亿美元[1]。 渔业是共同管理的一个显着例子，但在过去的三十年里 船队已观察到船队明显老龄化，为此，MCCF 投资了下一个。 通过缅因州东部船长计划（EMSP）培养渔业管理员，该计划 EMSP 通过教育不断发展以满足新的需求。 与当地学校和教师合作，使我们能够覆盖多达 80 和 110 每年有 18% 的学生在缅因州最需要帮助和最贫困的县 贫困率和 12% 的失业率（汉考克、华盛顿、诺克斯县）。 包括商业龙虾捕捞区 A、B 和 C，合计占龙虾捕捞总量的 72% 缅因州持有 6,500 个有效的龙虾许可证，创造了 80% 以上的家庭收入 对这些服务不足的农村社区进行教育[1]。 工业不仅有利于缅因州的经济，而且对新英格兰也至关重要。 创新且频繁的安全培训和职业健康教育也显而易见 考虑到最近发生的两起纠缠死亡事件（缅因州斯托宁顿和缅因州琼斯波特）和 18 美国海岸警卫队在缅因州罗克兰以东的搜救紧急响应 过去两年，缅因州也积极致力于解决海上安全问题。 作为回应，MCCF 成为第一个要求新船夫认证的州。 建议提供有效的安全培训，以满足缅因州小学的迫切需求 为期三年的渔业，促进沿海海事安全相关行为 通过以下核心活动促进缅因州的社区渔业： 1.) 提供安全和 每年为八所高中的学生进行生存训练，其中包括最近的学生 研究生，为期 3 年，总共 250 名学生； 2.) 建设项目领域的能力； 在缅因州东部培训 2 名额外的合格演练指导员；以及 3.) 部署 在上一个资助期间创建的有关重复生物力学的培训材料 超载和职业危害，包括甲板安全、振动、噪音和紫外线辐射。 预计我们拟议的培训项目的结果将显示出以下方面的变化： 通过缅因州商业安全意识行为的文化转变来实现与安全相关的行为 渔业，并通过态度和安全意识的文化转变来减少伤害风险。
