FLIPP program delivers life jackets to more than 440 fishermen
As part of our FLIPP for Life Jacket program, Amelia Vaughan coordinated with community partners to distribute life jackets to more than 440 commercial fishermen. Several coastal news stories and our partners' Facebook posts have celebrated the program's success and community collaborations. We are continuing our research to determine if the fishermen wear the life jackets and their opinions of them at the end of the season.
Check out the following news articles, and social media posts from commercial fishermen support groups to see the impact this work has had on Oregon families.
