Provincetown is at the center for Townsend
When Caitlin “Caity” Townsend was in elementary school she divided her free time between her family’s seafood business on Cabral Wharf in Provincetown and her dad’s lobster boat.
Close to 20 years later, her world has widened to fishing for salmon in Alaska, selling sockeye on the Cape, recycling fishing gear, as well as advocacy, but lobstering with her dad is still at the heart of it.
“A little girl on her dad’s boat, still doing it (and) now I get to sell my own seafood. That is just a nice full circle moment,” Townsend said. “Everything I do is because of Provincetown Harbor.”
