Marc works full-time as Katchi’s CEO and manages the project. Marc was previously a co-owner of a fish harvesting and processing company, that has three 65-foot fiberglass trawlers, owns groundfish quota in both NAFO areas, 4x, 5y and 5z. Marc was the controller and managed the vessels for 10 years. His experience includes working in the industry, specifically the harvesting side, understanding the complexity of the science (employed by DFO determine quota levels and stock health), the restrictions placed on harvesters (i.e MPA’s), the increasing difficulty to fish cleanly without by-catch, and the challenges faced in re-building fish stocks. Front line experience at the harvester level is necessary for the evolution of a practical solution. The end user needs must be considered in all steps of design and implementation.
