PHOTOS FROM GLOUCESTER’S SEA TO SUPPER CELEBRATION HONORING ANGELA SANFILIPPO
The Sea to Supper celebration was a beautiful event for a beautiful lady who has advocated for Gloucester and New England fishermen and their families her entire adult life, beginning when she became the young bride of a fisherman. An example of just one of many of Angela’s accomplishments is that if you are a Gloucester resident and have ever needed health insurance assistance, you can thank Angela for the groundbreaking work she achieved in securing health insurance for the families of fishermen and the broader Gloucester community.
Manny’s photos are terrific and here a few more.

Way more soothing and satisfying than those viral mixing paint and DIY slime videos, right?

Eight years after F/V Tuna Hunter tagged and released this Tuna it was recaught…
Congratulations to Captain Gary Connell and crew, F/V Tuna Hunter, & angler George Horensky, for this exciting Tag a Tiny recovery, after 8 years (2,976 days) at liberty! F/V Tuna Hunter released this 55″ bluefin tuna off Stellwagen Bank on 8/17/2008. At recapture it was 91 ” (471 lbs), in 52 deg F, by Japanese longline vessel F/V Chokyu 1, Captain Shuji Shibata, on 10/10/2016. Straight line distance: over 2,200 nmi, and we bet it swam vastly farther than that over 8 years!
LPRC thanks our colleague Dr. Ai Kimoto, Japan Far Seas Fisheries Research, and Billfish Foundation partners for getting this important recovery back to our Tag a Tiny Program.
