Tuna at the Oregon Coast

I can’t imaging a tougher way to make a living than commercial fishing. Unrelenting loneliness, long hours, and a whole lot of risk. I’ve come to admire Mark Newell pictured here. At a time when we hear about how “broken” the world’s fisheries are, Mark’s fishing practice is entirely sustainable.

These photos ran in a story for Edible Portland about Oregon Albacore Tuna.
