Shareen Davis - A native Cape Codder, Shareen was born into a fishing
family, married a fisherman, fished and has remained active in fisheries
advocacy throughout her life.  She is also a phenomenal photographer.
Whether shooting photos for feature stories in the Cape Cod Voice or taking
stunning photos of marine life and fishermen, Shareen has always looked to
her experiences on the seas as a source of inspiration for her vision.

Mark Alan Lovewell - Mark is a descendant of an old New England whaling
family, which could explain his love for maritime history, seafaring tales
and music.  Now based on Martha's Vineyard, he enjoys singing sea chanties -
traditional maritime work and folk songs - and entertaining audiences with
his stories that celebrate the rich maritime heritage of New England.
