Safety Training and Injury Prevention for the Next Generation of New England Fishermen

下一代新英格兰渔民的安全培训和伤害预防 项目摘要 缅因州的经济依赖渔业、海运业和龙虾。 工业可以说是东海岸最有价值的渔业，也是#年第二有价值的渔业。 2019年英国的登陆量为1.32亿英镑，离船价值为5.4亿美元[1]。 渔业是共同管理的一个显著例子，但在过去的30年里， 舰队观察到舰队明显变白了。作为对此的回应，MCCF投资了Next 通过缅因州东部捕鱼者计划(EMSP)产生渔业管家，该计划 不断发展以满足新的需求。EMSP通过教育性的 与当地学校和教师合作，使我们能够达到多达80和110 每年，缅因州最贫困和最贫困的县有18%的学生 贫困率和12%的失业率(汉考克、华盛顿州、诺克斯县)。这一地区 包括商业龙虾捕捞区A、B和C，它们加起来占全球 缅因州持有6500个有效的龙虾许可证，创造了超过80%的家庭收入 这些服务不足的农村社区[1]。教育这些学生有关可持续渔业的知识 工业不仅有利于缅因州的经济，而且对新英格兰至关重要。需要 创新和频繁的安全培训和职业健康教育也是显而易见的 考虑到最近发生的两起纠缠死亡事件(ME的Stonington和ME的Jones port)和18起 缅因州罗克兰以东美国海岸警卫队搜救的紧急反应 在过去两年里。缅因州也积极主动地解决海上安全问题。 立法，包括成为第一个要求新的船民认证的州。作为回应，MCCF 提议提供有效的安全培训，解决缅因州初选学校的迫切需求 三年期间的渔业，促进沿海地区的海上安全相关行为 缅因州社区渔业通过以下核心活动：1.)提供安全和 为来自八所高中的学生提供年度生存培训，包括最近 三年制研究生，共250人；通过以下方式在项目区建设能力 在缅因州东部再培训2名合格的钻头指导员；和部署 在之前的赠款期间创建的与重复生物力学有关的培训材料 超载和职业危害，包括甲板安全、振动、噪音和紫外线辐射。我们 预计我们建议的培训项目的结果将在 缅因州商业中通过安全意识行为文化转变的安全相关行为 通过态度和安全意识的文化转变，减少受伤的风险。

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.
