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 Preble holds a Master's of Science degree in biology with research on population homeostasis, a U.S. Merchant Marine 100-ton master'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 a policy will always be in everyone's best economic and cultural interests.  In his words, "I will do whatever I can to protect our living marine resources for my own benefit and or the benefit of my grandchildren."
