Paul Douglas Bartram passed away on June 14, 2023, in Honolulu, Hawai‘i. Born on Aug. 20, 1946, in New Hampshire, Paul leaves behind a remarkable footprint in the world of fisheries and marine conservation. A graduate of Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, Bartram earned his bachelor of arts in biology in 1978. He was a fishery researcher known for his profound grasp of ecosystem-based thinking, adeptness in finding and dissecting fishery data, and proficiency in technical writing. Paul dedicated his expertise to projects supporting the fisheries and seafood industries of the Western Pacific Region, focusing on Hawai‘i, American Samoa, Guam and the CNMI. He worked for the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council in the 1980s, helping to develop its inaugural Strategic Program Plan and territorial fishery management plans. During the late 1980s, Paul played a pivotal role in shaping the Hawai‘i Seafood Buyer’s Guide, a project funded by the NOAA Saltonstall-Kennedy Program. In the early 1990s, he championed the introduction of fresh tuna from Hawai‘i to European markets through his work with Hawai‘i Seafood Products Inc. As the emerging market for fresh tuna took shape, he was instrumental in the establishment of fresh tuna shipments from Guam to Europe. Paul also worked with Hui Malama O Mo’omomion Moloka‘i to secure funding to develop the group’s community-based management program and publish its lunar calendar, featuring traditional management approaches based on the life cycles of important marine resources.
