At the age of 65, you would expect to find Jim Gossen sharing an early-morning coffee on the docks with local fishermen near his Grand Isle camp. More often than not you will find him traveling the Gulf coast in his GMC Yukon, working to ensure fishermen and consumers around the country continue to enjoy sustainable Gulf seafood.
As a Gulf Seafood Institute board member and chairman and founder of Louisiana Foods, Texas’s largest seafood distributor, Gossen still maintains his around-the-clock energy and enthusiasm for seafood, especially Gulf seafood.
“I joined the Gulf Seafood Institute (GSI) because I saw a need for an organization to assist in the management of the resources of the Gulf of Mexico,” explained Gossen on why he got involved with the four month old organization. “It encompasses passionate and knowledgeable experts from a wide variety of seafood backgrounds across five Gulf States. They are dedicated to help charter, commercial and recreational fishermen manage and grow their fair share of the resource.”
