On October 3, 2025, Fishing Partnership Support Services (FPSS) will be holding its free Fishermen’s First Aid & CPR course in Gloucester.
The FPSS safety team and community health workers, known as Navigators, will be on-hand at the DES Portuguese Club, 133 Prospect St. From 8 a.m.-4 p.m. FPSS maintains that fishermen are the first responders at sea. This CPR and First Aid Course is enhanced to teach life-saving skills to assess and treat injured or ill crew on board fishing vessels before emergency medical personnel arrive. Commercial fishermen who complete this training will receive a FREE First Aid Kit customized to fishing vessels (one per vessel). Adult First Aid/CPR/AED Certification meets USCG requirements under 46 CFR 28.2.1.
One of the most critical pieces of lifesaving equipment is a lifejacket. Falls overboard remain the second-leading cause of death in the commercial fishing industry, both regionally and nationally. Wearing a lifejacket greatly increases the chance of surviving a fall overboard. Our training provides fishermen with the opportunity to try on different types of lifejackets to find one that they can comfortably wear while working. In partnership with The Northeast Center for Occupational Health and Safety, FPSS is proud to offer training participants a 50% rebate toward a lifejacket of their choosing.
Past attendees continue to speak positively about the relevance of training. As a recent attendee reported, “I have learned a lot of information that’ll help me on any type of boat.”
Interested participants may register online by visiting fishingpartnership.org/calendar or by contacting Fishing Partnership Navigator Maria Carpenter at 774-770-5685or mcarpenter@fishingpartnership.org.

The Annisquam River and Jones Creek Is Loaded The Invasive European Green Crabs

Invasive European green crabs are a global marine problem, introduced from Europe in the 1800s, and are now widespread in North America and other parts of the world, including New England and the West Coast. They outcompete native species for food and habitat, consume bivalves, and destroy crucial eelgrass beds, threatening commercial fisheries, ecosystems, and local culture. Green crabs can be identified by their five teeth on the front edge of their shell and are highly tolerant of diverse ocean temperatures and habitats, allowing for their rapid spread.
Characteristics of Green Crabs
- Appearance: They have five teeth along the front ridge of their shell and are not always green; their color can vary.
- Habitat & Diet: They are voracious predators of clams, scallops, and native crabs, and also uproot eelgrass, which is vital for other marine life.
- Resilience: They are highly tolerant of varied ocean temperatures and have a long larval stage, which helps them conquer and establish in new environments.
Impact of Green Crabs
- Ecological Disruption: They reduce biodiversity, outcompete native species, and alter marine habitats.
- Economic Damage: They cause collapse in commercial shellfish industries, such as soft-shell clam and oyster harvesting.
- Threat to Culture: They threaten the livelihoods and cultural resources of coastal communities, including Tribal nations.
Identifying and Reporting a Green Crab
- Look for the Five Teeth: A key identifier is the five spikes or teeth along the front edge of their carapace.
- Report Sightings: If you find one, especially in areas where they are not established, report it immediately. You can do this by contacting the Washington Invasive Species Council, Alaska Fish and Game, or other local authorities.
