American Experience Lecture Series

"Motive, Method and Poor Decisions - Doing Business in Great Waters"
By: Dave Preble

This lecture is FREE and open to the public.  This lecture will be held in the Student Auditorium, second floor of the Academic Building.  For directions/campus map, please visit: http://www.averypoint.uconn.edu/about/directions.html

Dave has a Master's of Science degree in biology with research on population homeostasis, has a U.S. Merchant marine 100-ton mater's license, and is descended from a line of seafarers.    He also has several decades of experience as a fishery biologist and as a commercial, recreational and charter fisherman.  He has written four books, more than 200 articles, and a score of scientific reports on fishing and fisheries.  Dave believes that the primary fishery management goal at all levels must be conservation of the resource, and that such policy will always be in everyone's best economic and cultural interests.  In his words, "I will do whatever I can to do protect our living marine resources for my own benefit and for the benefit of my grandchildren."
