For the Corazza family, fishing is the family business. Rich, the captain of the F/V Malamute Kid, has fished in the waters of Southcentral Alaska for decades. His daughter Megan followed suit - buying a seiner when she was just twenty years old - and is now the captain of the F/V Centurion. Both have had their boats and crews in the SERVS Fishing Vessel Program for more than twenty years. Megan’s brother Rick is also a captain in the program. Today, more than 350 fishing boats and other vessels participate in the program. Each year, SERVS personnel conduct training in Kodiak, Seward, Homer, Whittier, Cordova and Valdez, supported by training partner organizations like Prince William Sound College, the United States Coast Guard, and others. More than 1500 crewmembers are trained on oil spill response equipment and tactics; they are a critical piece of Alyeska’s emergency preparedness. Rich and Megan recently reflected on their time in the program, as captains and as family.
