FLIPP for Lifejackets
Fishermen Led Injury Prevention Program
We have an exciting new resource for commercial fishermen in Oregon and Washington that is coming soon.
Starting in Spring 2023 we will be reaching out to fishermen in the Pacific Northwest.
With the help of fishermen, we will be working with manufacturers in the design of lifejackets that will be more comfortable and easier to work in. A similar study was done with Lobstermen in New England and Alaskan fishermen, and one of the key takeaways is that lifejacket designs needs to vary from fishery to fishery and region to region.
Your insight and experience are important so we will be mailing and calling fishermen to hear directly from you about lifejackets.
