Paul Parker
Director Cape Cod Fisheries Trust
“The Cape Cod Fisheries Trust will buy fishing permits and make affordable leases to Cape Cod fishermen to protect a timeless tradition and vital Cape Cod economy.”
Paul Parker has been working with Cape Cod fishermen since 1997 to restore depleted fish populations while bringing back profitable fishing businesses and communities. Through the Cape Cod Fisheries Trust, Paul is raising funds and buying cod, scallop and lobster permits in order to make sure there is a next generation of fishermen on the Cape. Paul's work with local fishermen has forged a new and promising model for other fishing communities that are working to save their fish, their fleets and preserve a way of life.
Paul has held numerous jobs on Cape Cod commercial fishing vessels including lobster, steamer clams, cod, haddock, dogfish, bluefin tuna, and striped bass using all manner of fishing gear from handlines to gillnets, rod & reel and longlines. Paul earned a BA in Biology from Cornell University and a Masters of Environmental Management from Duke University. In 2006, Paul was honored with the Duke Nicholas School Rising Star Award.
