Creating a diverse and inclusive fisheries profession requires telling new stories. While we revere the well‐known pioneers in our profession, we must expand beyond them. New stories, like those in my book, Nature’s Allies, show that conservationists come from all walks of life, proving that anyone and everyone can be a member and leader in our field. For example, the life of Billy Frank Jr., a Native American fisherman from western Washington, shows how his passion for salmon and for Native Americans’ legitimate treaty fishing rights led to a revolution in fisheries management in the Pacific Northwest. To achieve diversity and inclusion, we must (1) confront our implicit biases, (2) recruit from different sources and communities, and (3) tell stories and show pictures of diverse people and activities.

想要使渔业更加多样化和更具包容性吗？讲新故事！

建立多元化和包容性的渔业专业需要讲新故事。在我们敬佩我们行业中的知名先驱者的同时，我们必须超越他们。像我的《自然的同盟》一书中的新故事表明，保护主义者来自各行各业，证明了每个人都可以成为我们领域的成员和领导者。例如，来自华盛顿西部的美国原住民渔夫比利·弗兰克（Billy Frank Jr.）的一生表明，他对鲑鱼和对美国原住民的合法条约捕鱼权的热情如何引发了西北太平洋地区的渔业管理革命。为了实现多样性和包容性，我们必须（1）克服我们内在的偏见，（2）从不同的来源和社区招募新兵，（3）讲故事并展示各种人和活动的照片。
