Birgit Gettings

Birgit joined Archipelago in 1995 as an At Sea Observer on Foreign and Domestic fishing vessels. After spending a couple of years at sea, she settled in Vancouver and took on many roles and responsibilities for Archipelago–Port Supervisor, EM Technician, Sablefish sampling coordinator, and data technician, to name a few. In 2019, the big move to Vancouver Island occurred and, with it, a more relaxed lifestyle. When not at her desk or in the field, you can find Birgit in the garden or renovating some part of her house. She also enjoys going on hiking adventures and kayaking with family.
