A workshop to introduce you to options for businesses that compliment your fishing occupation.

Ready to expand your horizons beyond the hull?
Join us at the Island Institute for our “Diversification Pathways” pre-program workshop, a session dedicated to helping you discover business opportunities that perfectly complement your life on the water. This isn’t just about brainstorming—it’s about action. We’ll help you define your unique assets, including your expert knowledge, valuable time, and physical equipment, to identify new ways to thrive.

You’ll walk away with a prioritized shortlist of 2–3 viable local business concepts tailored to your skills and seasonal timing. Plus, get inspired by our opening speakers—past Fishing Plus participants who have successfully navigated these same waters. Don’t just wonder “what’s next”; join us and take your first concrete step toward a diversified future.
