Tragic loss at MIMF Clam farm

Postby DustinDorton » December 17th, 2008, 5:20 am

On Saturday December 6th, Brett McGough, the manager at The Marshall Islands Mariculture Farm passed away after an accident on Friday afternoon. Brett was valuable member of the MIMF/ORA team and he was both loved and respected in the Marshall Islands. He will be sorely missed.

I have attached the newspaper article from the Marshall Islands Journal.

ORA is looking to fill the farm manager position as quickly as possible, if you are interested please send resumes to jobs@orafarm.com

Dustin, did he attend MACNA, IMAC or MO? I swear I met him once.

Gresham, you are thinking of a different guy. Brett had not been to a tradeshow in the US yet.
