The Fisherman Led Injury Prevention Program (FLIPP) is an innovative project that includes commercial fishermen, researchers, extension agents, and coastal community members. These partners are directly involved in the design of the project, collecting data and in testing injury prevention strategies. The project combines occupational safety research with experience in working directly with the commercial fishing industry.
