focused on these are still working through the journey of developing an identity, a national identity. there's, you know, we talked earlier about the vibrancy and the dynamics of the media will all sorts of use and narratives have a chance to, to face and come to the floor. also has a downside in the. everything is up for debate. nothing is agreed on the the

maximum to be down here. so i like to say the apple doesn't fall far from the jury. your whole decision for me and the other one, reading, consolidation and privatization of the new england fishing industry has made it nearly impossible for fishers working on a small scale to make a live. tim writer is one of the few. jake boat, fishermen remain back then we don't want the

people have the same opportunity to experience fishing the way i did. and that's the saddest thing about this industry. were bickering and arguing over microphones . you know, like council meetings are in the press, who suffers the most is that little kid that might not have a chance to go fishing or pursue his dream. all these things are doing, my son are taking away from me. and they don't see that that's not in their pie charts and their flow charts and their circle graphs, scientists and their science. but i do the, the, the, the, the small coastal fishing communities. do we even need the small mom and pop operators?

i think a lot of people are concerned about this. the white, raging industry stories of the united states on one side are people with deep roots in coastal fishing communities on the other. or the wealthy owners of industrial fishing operations, who use their political and economic power to dominate the industries. the losers in this battle were small scale fishers, the fish and the oceans. fish is one of the most highly traded commodities on the planet. the average piece of fish changes hands about 7 times between the moment of capture and the moment gets tear place the sea food supply chain is long and fragmented with little accountability. the biggest losers in this broken system are the consumers who have no idea where their fish comes from, or often even what it really is safely. labeling in general has been found.

unfortunately, to be full of miss labeling. the system is so tilted in favor of industrial fishing, but even with catch that is brought in by small scale. fissures is the value and there are minimal, profits are diminished. the industrialization of the seaford system is mimicking industrialization of our land base fruits. and we're seeing the squeeze and displacement of family fishermen and we're seeing a collapse of infrastructure. and once that infrastructure is gone, it will never come back. this was the foundation, not just of a regional economy sort of a way of life. and it was an emblem of what was best about america, how people that were willing to work hard and come here and struggle could make a better lives for their children. we're looking at a shift and coastal america, like we have never seen the

. i started in 1983 this year with my father on the on that side on the south end. or is that much my childhood? that all exactly the same as a kid does when he goes out in the lake and the canoe and his vision for a pan fish with a rod and reel, is that kind of a feeling the school right there? the jeep goes fishing is one of the most sustainable methods of catching fish and its impact on ocean ecosystems is a fraction of that if it's industrial counterparts, but it's quickly becoming lost. our various caspar zach is one of the few jig

fishermen west and cody j fishing is one of the oldest fishing is not the oldest vision in the world. that is essence. it's a line going down. the water with a couple of ups are very selective to get over school. and if it's not the right fish, well then you can quickly move you know, out of the time in the tides, right. and and the winds see the fish and there are underneath the schools, raise it up a little bit. the massive rafter it does to your office, the over 95 percent the rockfish coming out of alaska is all troll going. that means it's called a large snaps. with what they call rock hopper here,

that drags on the bar with these big tires that roll over rocks, sometimes tearing down pinnacles, tearing out for catching a lot of rockfish at once for as well as other spaces trying when it's done in its worst form, hasn't leveling a fact, and it has a tendency to really just sort of strip away everything that's there. the carls and phonics, but also all the fish that are living in that particular area. generally speaking, a smaller scale operation, well managed is going to have less collateral damage than a large trawler that is part of trying area. over efficient you reached a critical level in international waters in the late eighty's with the use of a new generation of unimaginably long. that's that stretched for miles. there were a 1000 boats fishing in the pacific with high seas drifting nets, 40000 miles of netting in the pacific ocean. every night. they caught millions of birds, dolphins, wales,

turtles. they court everything that's wide by the ninety's. somebody like me would feel motivated to be involved in overhauling the whole thing. i got photographed and went to the new york times. it instantly blew up. it was in newspapers all around the world. the united nations did finally ban those things. from that fishing became a conservation issue, not just of allocation issue the the guy liked him ryder glasses and they were running 80 miles to be able to catch

the fish in a 30 footfall question. so many a night. so i went home wondering if this guy was coming back, these young guys and all the time to get the fisheries going and then pushed out and pushed out who's one of the few guys is i see puts in the extra effort he just loves that. and i'm glad he is going on big about some votes here and built from scratch. one piece you know, from a mold all the way to the finished product. the next step, once it's done as well, launch the mode, see trial, it get the kinks worked out and then go fishing boats like tim's cost $2.00 to $300000.00. and every trippy takes cost to me around $500.00 on a good day. he might land a few $1000.00 worth of fish, but that's before he pays his crew. on a bad day, he might not even cover his expense.

the, there's so many times of life for you, people don't believe in what they're doing and they just go through the motions and passion about when i do, i'm proud with the fact that we have a minimal footprint where we go. i know if i hit the powerball for $40000000.00 or a $1000000.00 or whatever it is, i knew exact same thing i'm doing right now. tomorrow the, the fishing is peaks and valleys. be pretty quick scan, kind of like the sharp, i guess the in the 1990. so need for conservation was finally acknowledged in new management and fisheries was established until then phishers were all racing to catch the same fish at the same time. to address these issues,

a style called catch share management was established and quickly to call on basically a fan of catch shares in a certain configuration, which is the person who fishes owns a share of the allowed cash. they don't own a share of the fish in the ocean, but when the catch limit is set, they own a share of that catch. what i'm not in favor of is you can only share the catch, and then you can sell that to somebody else or lease that to somebody else. and you sit back in a chair and make money off what somebody else is doing. that's not an improvement on anything. i mean for a $36.00 foot boat that employees will 2 or 3 people in the sun and then a couple of guys on short run and fish around. you can save your 25 percent of your profit margin. really either breaking even or losing money. businesses like tens, he has to pay a landlord essentially for those fish. fishermen don't need landlords. they need to

be able to go fishing for me and another fisherman. and i know for leasing out the flanders he's getting roughly what $75000.00 is here. that's pretty good. anyone at home is making money and a lot of it, it has nothing to do with the business. sucks the cashiers for kindly gamble. some people did become fantastic stewards of, of those resources, but unfortunately, a lot of people just became landlords and they started running access to go to work to the people who catch fish for a living. it opens the door for the pocketed swords, if you will, to be the next inheritors. the resource as a majority of the permits in quota can be bought by only a few companies. and we're looking at a wal mart situation on the ocean. why don't you just give us the names of the 5 or 7 guys on especially all of this market,

it is going into private hands. and i think over time, the next logical inheritors of this resource are going to be corporations. for those who are are fed up. we've had enough with policies designed to consolidate policies designed to privatize, designed to squeeze out are independent fishermen to join me and walking out. we're going to walk in and tell the public and sign of life and what's been happening here. they voted today to allow for 7 entities to control this whole fishery that type of consolidation, that type of concentration of ownership. it's kurtz, our local economy is that depend on these working waterfront and we need to go up the chain. we need to have accountability in this process, and this is a work. and there's a select few people at the top that are making all the money. and they're making the rules and benefits themselves. the

the boss can do either steve on the bus with key at the washington state, the girls to complete the

rest of the guys to phone up, send 2 professional men city and to keep the list of all but huge. but they use the privatization came about for how that at that point i was only in my mid twenties. i didn't really see it as a threat. i figured, yeah, will make the fishery say for, and there are always any guys to catch it. so yeah, maybe it's a good thing. i didn't know here too. after that i could not get

a job. so i was basically shut out of the how that fishery. that really was the beginning of the end for the happy days and a small boat fleet, and kodiak. this is basically the waterfront of code. yeah. all the way down there is the boat yard for small boats. and over there is the rest, the cannery row where you see the remaining processors, mostly all large corporate entities. things that really become consolidated the afternoon. and various caspar that a local fisherman home for data kodiak. i'm also a president of the alaska jacob's social jason who i'm representing today. we do not support any new management program. the gulf of allows control sector which monetize us the fishery research. the future of our fishing community depends on access of the fishery resource. please maintain opportunity for the next generation of fishermen. thank you. thank you. there is the fishery management is the

responsibility of regional councils across the united states. some have chosen not to use the catch here system and seek other solutions for conservation management. this is the port of port orford. it's one of the very few dolly ports they call them where you're both stay on trailers and you're actually lifted in by crane into the open ocean. the. this is how we do it. it's pretty intense. what are the most unique things about? port orford is we're restricted in both size, 40 feet and under 50 ton. and under everybody has different opinions and they're independent of course. but because we have so much in common, what benefits need benefits? my brother, the biggest threat we have against the small boat community,

is kind of multi faceted, the consolidation of quota, and the corporate mindset that wants to get the fish for nothing. it doesn't really take into account the needs of a small community. so this is why i bought this as the gold and i, if the plan is over time to have 10 big boats on the west coast that catch 95 percent of the sea food. you know, i mean, that seems extreme, but it's not out of the question. the community port orford is pretty unique. population is 1200 between the tim industry and fishing. that's what it's all been about around here. this is the furthest west incorporated town in the continental 40. and then you buy a boat and you go further west. the,

everybody is a hope you live fishing and we all use the same type of gear. it prevents us all from growing into the other sectors of troll and towing. that's the port orford fleet is limited to 40 votes, all restricted in their size and equipment. they carry with each boat holding a valuable fishing in the permit system. the permits are tied to the boat. if you don't have somebody to pass that on to in your family, you have to sell it in order to get the money. you need to make a 3 year goal in years. the permits do leave out of 4 offered it's less revenue for the whole town. every facet of business in this town is affected solely by our fish. we land between $4.00 and $5000000.00 worth of seafood here in

port offer. i mean, it's a big dam deal if that goes away, it will just leave the place dry. so it really has a lot to do with the health and wellness of the community to be able to have access to the fish. we're right here. i mean, we're looking at some of the richest grounds in the world. could you imagine not having access to that for a community? see me in the former mayor of saint paul island lives in a community of 400 people solely dependent on fisher, the declining halibut stocks has meant that native fisheries have had to reduce their cash in the interest of maintaining the fish population. right now i've probably 3 strings. i'm a little, i'm a little frustrated but we've got 4 strings of the we've got

a couple of good size like right now. so this the kind of day we want to have right here the over the years seattle based charlton has been operating in the bearings. see right in simeon backyard, us catch shares of how women in alaska are limited to hook and lines fixtures. so when these trawlers accidentally catch how the, when facing for other species, they're forced to throw the fish back 5, then they're usually dead. these unintentionally cost fish are known as bike, which should be no way. we should be shut down because we live right here that everybody else that comes out of wherever they come from in america is going to be

able to come up here and dish. no, not right. the bearings see the bike, which is accounting for almost all of what's available to be taken of the halibut stock. these are industrial, but it's or district water boats to fully prosecute their fishery. and the most economical way to go out there, set their nets, do on toes and just drove it side what they are allowed to keep the costs to them of during those how better of the size just costs doing business. thanks for coming in there. one of the really great things about this bike has issue is it unites groups because it's really important to everybody, the cares about the halibut resource linda bank. and the fisher herself is the director of the alaska long lines fisherman's association. in the early ninety's, she led the fight in which local communities successfully band trolling in

southeast alaska and stuff in here. fishermen prowl ocean, leaving waste in wake. despite hunger houses add for headlines. the fishermen of southeast alaska had a long term concern about trolling. having watched the foreign slates operate right off our coast and huge decline and the eco system and the raffish, and the black hat and how of it. so this is the line of their catch per unit effort . so how much they were catching per tow when they were trolling for this species of rock fisco, pacific ocean perch. and then this is what was happening to the abundance of that fish. as a big part of our concern in the early ninety's, a u. s. trawler came through here, then took enough rock fish as bycatch to close down one of our local fisheries. or fishermen came to me and said if you can do one thing for southeast alaska and will

be you know, close this area to drawing towards co wrangell. do you know every community in se, passed a resolution in support of the closure and submitted them all with the council? it was a very emotion packed time. we were pretty inflammatory and no surprise people thought we were a little overboard with what we said. there was a huge pushback from national marine fisheries service and from the troll industry, i know easily at the time was sure that with this much support from communities in small but freshman, the counselor would do that right thing. it took another 5 years before they took action to close trolling. it was the largest troll band in the world at that time. it was a huge grass roots effort started by the fisherman, but it ended up involving everybody from the bottom to the top. the

surface gets lost in the shuffle, where of, you know, against a 100000 pounds of fish quality doesn't matter. i've been told that why the buyers, why are you going to pay top dollar for my fish when you can buy something else and just label it whatever the for over a century the us is celebrated the efficiency in affordability of an industrial food system that processes and preserves massive amounts of food for consumers that's included. and today, there's an intricate international supply chain. the provides us with cheap fish,

put the costs to the oceans, the fish, the small scale fissures and the consumer. staggering. is more than one good way to 3 to fit the main problem with the with seafood supply chain to set up right now is that since that changes hands so many times every time it changes hands a little bit of value is lost for the fisherman. the cleaning of the fish, but why it keeps the flash nice and clean. thanks a lot. higher quality product a prior to going out on the sand lander, i was doing work creating a mobile app, trying to connect people with local se, food options. and during that time working on that project, i realized there needed to be more options and it coincided perfectly with meeting time and session on the phone. the

. this is not typical in the industry where the captain does a lot of delivering in the captain is a fish car to get really sad to think about this area, having relied upon their fisheries. and with a lot of the important sea food, we're kind of losing that new fishmonger is our idea directly selling fish throughout new england's kind of re establish what new england seafood really is. we want to have the ability to have a fish on our customers plate that was swimming around 10 hours ago, which we can do prod, sustainably, the direct market approach. it has this differences are gonna walk in with

a box of fish off the boat. we're not going to have suit and tie and fancy delivery machines. the magic rains much over 5 color offensive stalls. western leaders have made a remarkable rhetorical. tippett bible says it has already lost the board. the secretary of state lincoln says russia has lost their narrative because the form of pseudo reality because making the claim ukraine is wendy is untenable. two's 2060 numerous monuments to soviet soldiers and potent an ukraine and the baltic states have been destroyed all vandalized as dish. there's the body of us pharmacy certainly within yeah, i'm not sure. or even mothers could i ask if i really sold that rather than just most on whether it's, it's special or just bring in the police government denies the rule of soviet sonya is in the victory of a naziism. and is it raising historical memories of world war 2 is the 40 piece

when you order. although it did seem to notice we regimes, the trustees would remain things in people's consciousness forever. but as long as russell phobia is profitable and brings dividends, you are willing to have a to rewrite the cost. yes, it does take up the top of that. i need a teaching because it looks like so i need october 30th i feel the spelling. these are still working through the journey of developing an identity, a national identity. there's, you know, we talked earlier about the vibrancy and the dynamics of the media. all sorts of use of narratives have a chance to, to face and come to the floor. also has a downside in the everything is up for debate. nothing is agreed on

the of the officials from new jersey, the african union and equal was, are in ethiopia for talks. there are hints of the possibility of a peaceful resolution in sweden, a man is detained for trying to stop the burning of the crown. a stark contrast to the reaction of authorities to the, to activist the set, the muslim holy book, a blaze pulse with this hour the and our take crew get exclusive access to the front lines of the again.
