Among the NOAA personnel on board are several with the job title Fisherman. These are the men and women who operate the cranes, winches and other heavy industrial equipment used in fishing. Like many NOAA fishermen, Chris Nichols is a U.S. Navy veteran, and he has spent most of his adult life at sea. In this photo, Nichols keeps an eye on the winch as he reels in the trawl net.
