Work with north island

Zeb Campbell grew up lobstering on North Haven Island, bought his first boat at 14, and has spent his life working the water and the land here. He spent a decade-plus hauling traps, then farmed oysters, and now keeps about 75 hives across the island for our honey, North Island Gold. This year he’s back on the water in a 29' wooden Calvin Beal, exploring what plastic-free lobstering could look like.

Somewhere along the way, people started pointing cameras at him. We’re glad to say yes to more of that, with the right partners.

We’re open to partnerships with brands that make things built to last and care about the ocean, the land, and the people who work them. That might mean gear testing, photo and video content, product seeding, or longer collaborations around our island projects.
