Dave Preble holds a Master's of Science degree in biology with research on population homeostasis, has a U.S. Merchant marine 100-ton master's license, and is descended from a line of seafarers. He also has serveral 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 managment goal at all levels must be conservation of the resources, and that such policy will always be in everyone's best economic and cultural interests. In his own words, "I will do whatever I can to protect our living marine resources for my own benefit and for the benefit of my grandchildren."
