The Geraldton Fishermen’s Co-operative (GFC) exemplifies the cooperative model, focusing on community, sustainability, and long-term value.

Its sustainability initiatives, like achieving MSC certification, highlight its forward-thinking approach to preserving the fishing industry for future generations.

Despite challenges, such as shrinking industry size and reduced community cohesion, Michael says GFC prioritises integrity, community engagement, and aligning personal and organisational purpose.
