The Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District looks set to offer its top job to Jack Crider, formerly the executive director of the Port of Astoria. The move comes roughly a year after the district abruptly fired its previous chief executive officer, David Hull for reasons unstated.
Crider, a former fish biologist and seafood entrepreneur, resigned his post in Astoria late last month to much disappointment, reports the Daily Astorian. Commissioners at that port highly praise Crider’s talent in the Astorian piece, citing his work bringing new business to the port as well as his environmental remediation efforts.
