of the we started really slow just tearing up with 6 or 7 restaurants. right now basically using my sedan here as our means of transportation which are very difficult. so we're kind of hoping to get a nice refrigerated truck that way we can start, you know, adding on more clients because there's a lot of people in the area that want access to all of our fresh fish motivation was to find a way to make a direct connection from the boat to the people that are going to eat the fish. and by doing so, trying to eliminate the middle man costs that are associated with the auction, the distributor, the processor, the secondary distributors that bring it to restaurants and then the grocery store . and then the people that you know, are working up the counter trying to make it so that the boat's getting

a fair price, not based on international markets, but based on what it takes to have a livelihood. the, i don't like to use the word locals. i like to use the word intelligently, a little more knowing where that's who it's coming from, having the relationships with the people it's coming from. that's what our menu reflects. will get text messages from amanda before the body saying that here's what's coming in. what do you want? the qualities definitely there as well as depression we also been able to open up the doors to new areas for delivery. working with us, they know exactly what they're going to get. that same high quality fish every single time the to my families when, how efficient for

a really long time. my mom was pregnant with me still long lying. and i grew up on long land boats. so, you know, that's been a huge part of our income and our way of life is how that fish and there's really nothing else like it as far as a really hard manual labor. and a lot of the fish are, you know, twice my size. so it is pretty wild when you get those big fish, but it is very gratifying one eggs over easy running your from top to, to medium, slightly running. in other words, you want to perfectly done again. ok. ready busted to your my dad is a super jolly guy. he's kind of like buddha, like he's taught me the trade and i think that's really unique. i've been how

that vision since probably 1978 was my 1st year that i seriously went into it the way that we catch of it is we catch them on what's called long lines and they're basically a small diameter, a role that plays on the bottom and we have a large truck in on that hope we have other fish. that means the quality standards for sea food is change. people demand a higher quality fish. my son marsh, started out as a young boy efficient with me,

and i think he had higher standards, right from the beginning. he has a new way of treating should i think it's actually better the so when i started off, you know, you're catching each fish individually. how can live in taken care of them and then just to sell them to a global commodity marketplace and felt kind of incomplete. they had this beautiful fish, and then it just disappears under this will pick global supply chain, the 20th 11. i sold some fish to my friend who did a little buying club. and then i went down to the midwest to meet the people that they got my catch. and they were super excited about the quality and where it came from. who is like an ah ha moment of wow, there's

a better way where i can sell my fish directly. i can receive their price and people receiving the fish in the midwest getting an incredible product. the lowest salmon shares. yeah. uh, what uh, what are you looking for? what are you looking to do? any kind of directory consumer fish business, it's really difficult and that the amount of capital it takes to get started just to have all the services officially need ice bait, access to their catch, be able to offload it, be able to take their full loads of fish all these things are, are really challenging here. last year when you're trying to produce perfect fish, every single step matters how the fisherman catches the fascism. glad right away. is it showing right away how long it see they spend?

and then how quickly is that fish full aid, unfrozen, and how as frozen is really important to and then once it's frozen, household is stay on. the sink is an incredible fishing for small mo, motor operators. as it gets late, it's not as much challenged by consolidation, but by kind of stagnant fish prices. in order for us to make it, especially when we need to find a marketplace that really values a quality, there's a growing movement of people wanting to sell their cash directly and as a consumer base that really supports that. so i think that in the future we'll have more, more efficient, you know, connecting directly with to peaks or fish. the small communities across alaska work to find solutions by catch from industrial trawlers continues to threaten the halibut population. the hell of it,

fishermen have taken big productions in their quota. they are conserving and you really can't have a healthy, sustainable resource unless all sectors. everybody involved, the sharing and conserving that resource. wave fisheries are changing. it's the way our country is changing. it's increasingly harder for small businesses to make it more specific fishery management council is responsible for regulating how big bi, catch across the last can fisheries. today, the council is voting on limits for the industrial jocelyn. the hello council. my name is john scale and i've been a small boat held at long liner for just about exactly

40 years. and since that time i've made uh at least 50 percent of my yearly income and up to maybe 90 percent on the pallet. so i'd like to request that when you vote, you vote for the maximum bi catch reduction. you're now well aware of the status of the however, it stocks and the need for conservation. you've heard from a lot of people, the exploitable biomass is near historical levels. growth rates have dropped. we're still seeing over 3000000 pounds of juvenile halibut killed is bypassing the varying see the people dependent on the how that resource are the ones that are plummeting and we're, we're calling out to you. those who are watching us fall are either enjoying the view or missing. the fact that we're about to hit the bottom everybody is living in denial here and because of big money, i mean that's,

so that's the only way i could see this thing not happening was because of the amount of money that is generated from the fisheries out in the bearing see, i hope you guys are hearing me while the council did approve of bycatch reduction in the bearing see, the new limits are an insult to the many locals to testify. and the total held with population has since seen a decline, leaving the future of halibut fishing for local communities in jeopardy and say this, you know, where the, the numbers are going down. privatized makes our systems corporate, which does have the small businesses that are so you need to are responsible for pushing around the professional to support businesses. a lot of

times i wish catches didn't exist. i wish i didn't have to be a manager. and the kids say, how passionate you are by the hopefully we've driven home the point to them that there's landlords in this fishery making a lot of money. all politics aside, i just want to be able to go fishing and keep the money i make not paying someone collecting a check. well, he's not fish the he had some of the i think so. well i look a nice out, amanda. there's other similar models out there that are doing the right thing and i want to be like we are the proof and the important

that we didn't do some of this work as a father takes you know, some of the time i've met with him. i really hope to have him involved right with bring them there. all the restaurants, believe anyone else in the fall? i got it done. you have the skills. yeah. because that's what i do for what i'm going to take you on a card 1st thing trip. this here a little more peasy, 13 let's we can try. what are we gonna do with them? that's why with them you think you like being played with after coming up from 200 feet of water. one missing kid. okay, that was a really good job. the,

the, the nato has made it clear he deems it to claim proxy war against russia as ex, essential, as such, russia to cease the conflict as ex, essential, it could not be otherwise, there will be, no, it goes straight at the end of this conflict, one side will lose the smart money is not on binding ordination the the

the, if you'd like a nice, quiet little town. this would be a great place to live. but there are problems like i was in a small town in poverty that are unfortunate. not just as a small town in america, we absolutely import or perhaps talking about what our community needs to keep going collectively. we all need to stay in session so that we can keep the infrastructure. we have an economy that we have for community. early on we understood that we needed local science, that we need to understand what the fish stocks were here right at our front door. and we chose on the issue of marine reserves that was close to fishing. that was

a savings account for our community that essentially serves as a place for the fish and go and goes fish can reproduce, and we can keep a healthy fishery. this place is so amazing. this cluster of rocks right out here is red fish rocks. marine reserved, it's the marine reserve that our group of fishermen put forward. we wanted to integrate our exponential knowledge into choosing where it would be. and then we installed a framework where it would be studied. here's the marine reserve and protected area . and each of the dots is a place where i tag to fish and released it. i think fundamentally what brought me here, where rockfish said a long generation time, someone would be over a 100 years old. and when they get over fish like they were back in the seventy's, eighty's fishermen here wanted to be proactive. they wanted to get out in front of

the issue. they drew the line and they presented those boundaries to the state. and that's what led to red shocks. so there's a little transmitter, basically was implanted and efficient abdomen, that after tagging the fish goes into this cage. when we get down to say 4050 feet door pops open, fish swims away and now we're tracking it. we've found a perfect synergy between people who have careers worth of knowledge about fish in the ocean. and we've connected them with the technology of a research institution like o s u, that kind of negotiation is how you get to where you're trying to go when you're trying to do conservation in a community that's dependent on resources. the

abundant stocks are important. i mean, who wants to fish the last batch, the way of communities like port orford work to find the balance between fishing and conservation. deceptive labeling has become the latest industry . we have $74.00 different species and rocked to shop the art in cost. it's solve the snapper. people are willing to accept that there fishes mastery fish van. you know, who cares anymore about the small guy. a new reports as many fish providers are playing a shell game with suppliers, reason investigations and studies have shown miss labeling. sometimes do the error, but often the result of outrage, fraud is ramp in the industry. the same for the labeling in general has been found unfortunately to be full of miss labeling. and a lot of it is intentional. mislaid was there been

a number of studies where people just go in, they buy fish and fish markets that are said to be something like red snapper and then they do dna test and they find that it's not red snapper us solution to the fraud in seaford is better enforcement where somebody who was coming in the by happened to be running dna test. they really wouldn't keep doing that. to fishes matters and you can actually know your fishermen, the we operate port orford, sustainable c, food, a community supported fishery. we catch our fish, i sit down over night and lock in the fresh desk as fast as you can for goals were to pay more for the fish, a fair trade price to create processing jobs, and to sell puerto efficient port offering. you couldn't buy local fish and efficient town and that felt fundamentally wrong. if a chief,

the goal of raising the price on fish, so the other buyers have come up to meet our price as well. and then we'll go up again. so we can stay in business, this is where all the best from alaska comes directly. this is about 50000 pounds. at around 20, below transparency is without a doubt a julian hurdle and see from the supply chain. and a small operations with the right intentions grow and scale. it's an issue that must be addressed. if you're trying to expand from a cell in your own fest directly and you want to grow your business, a lot of time, your line and other entities to process your fast to ship your fish to deliver your fresh companies that may not adhere to your values and what point do you have enough sales enough volume to like build the infrastructure to do everything yourself. we process the fisher ourselves. we deliver traceable fashion ourselves.

and we can make sure that was the piece is officially south, is the one that is on the name. that's a beautiful thing. and i want to keep that growing and keep building the this is a new cardiac municipal crane. this allows harbor users independent access the waterfront without having to go through a large industrial processor. we've been fighting for this for between 30 and 40 years. there can be no start up operations without having access to the waterfront with what this plan provides. now you can have a little mom and pop processor that's, you know, a couple blocks in land. this is the kodiak island wild source facility. we hope to serve the small boat fleet here, and kodiak, with custom processing. really excited to see the new plan. just got it up and

running, right? yeah. just a week ago. so this is our role stock packaging machine plus 1000 pounds in our we can run through here. this is under yeah, of our small boat slate. the opportunity to custom process fish throughout the course of the year. i think we'll be hopefully 12 months of the year as long as there's fish to be caught. you guys helped us get to the point that we are today and we want to be partners in success with you guys. all the basics are here for sure. a new era. yeah. for the areas cash present in geography, issues like the battle for access to the waterfront and fishing ultimately determine whether it's possible to make a living. we need to capitalize on dollars and get some adapters to issue

the i've seen with these efforts. there is a back in the success on the way the today. i know your 1st longer is, is pretty crazy and our was change in the business for us. we bought a 2nd truck, a bigger truck, 2nd boat from then or 2. we also have several full time employees now they believe and when i believe in, and i'm having fun doing what i'm doing, the sink we got cooking when growing pretty well. they're in a really short time, and there's always so much you can shuffle fish around in a refrigerated man. there we go. i think we can have your own cold storage. well, leave a to and having more flexibility to do our work. i'm looking forward to this,

this would be nice. we have a close to $3000.00 followers on facebook. i never thought it would be at that point, never thought it was possible. we do work in our community. we do everything that you would want a small business to do to keep doing that the, the systems are going anywhere. so i have 2 choices. make it work for us or to fail what the differences is making an example for others. a ball that defies that system. battle for me now is not in washington dc anymore. it's not been council meetings. on my boat and into businesses. we work with the,

the future of small scale, fisher's and seeing our hands as consumers. the value they bring to coastal communities and their stewardship to the ocean rule only remain if we commit to supporting and while their service to society is under, is thread votes in our fisheries. and once again strive with possibilities still exists among those who continue to fight there's different levels of challenge. and so what's going to make us work in the small mo fisheries? providing that all the traceable market is absolutely key to our survival at this point. the combination of small scale fisheries, and robust management that's kind of ideal. as far as fully employing people and fully making use as a resource, the ocean is still capable of producing and sustaining an unbelievable amount of

life and in us waters. we have started to let it do that and it shows the message i would leave to you is the importance of not giving up the importance of working together and also the importance of taking care of your corner of the ocean . i think the challenge one term for protecting fist x is a more complete understanding of the system, recognizing the importance of habitat and managing as if we are in the only predators that's taking fish out of the c building, direct connections between fishermen and the public. that's great for the for not ultimately shifting policies and that's all for nothing. how can we leverage that network of people who care about where the seafood comes from so that we're protecting community based fishermen who we believe are poised to be the best stewards of the ocean?

that's really ultimately what we need is going to be around for the long news of the i don't think that i could ever as a writer really capture the experience that is 1025 percent of your income. roughly, there's someone that's at home probably enjoying retirement, watching wheel of fortune or murder. she's such shrewd,

shrewd points about the way in which the sea food world fits together in the middle r squared in the middle east. got a lot of steam risk, monica, your t for see tv show, misbehaving marian, this film katie, that's coming out soon and better be yours. anyways. this little stab at the director of the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion. by tell us to do vision with no real opinions.

fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills and then it just as a chosen few fractured images presented to this. but can you see through their illusions, going underground? can the russian states never as tight as i'm one of the most sense community best most i'll send send up the in the system must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will fan in the european union the kremlin mission, the state on the russia to day and split the ortiz full neck,

even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the fitness center. for the question, did you say a request, which is the hello and welcome to was a part when i was coming of age in the early 1990 is right in the aftermath of the cold war. the biggest dream for many youngsters around the world was to get

a scholarship or even a one way plane ticket to a western country and never look back 30 years on many of the speakers off, greener grass or about a life returning home with a conscious desire to help cultivate darn, i'm sister allows what's behind us phenomenon and how is it changing the world we live in? want to discuss that. i'm now joined by mcqueen hon. i practiced on a public policy analyst out of tv brought the costs are smith. wayne is great to see your thank you very much for your time. it's a pleasure. it's on a now unlike many post cold war immigrants whom i had just mentioned, you were actually born and raised in the foreign country were born and raised in london. you got a degree from cambridge and other one from the harvard. you had a number of seemingly pharmacy and jobs including one with the your and does he have you quit it and return back to your assessor allows. i wonder if the decision

seemed a bit a centric to put it mildly even to your own family. well, it was actually a family decision. and the thing is that, so when i was growing up in london in the eighty's in the nineties and i was at school and university, it was a very different place to the u. k that we see now. i mean, recently we've seen the 1st minister of scotland has been elected, and he's a young british focused on me. we've got the mayor of london saw this fine is also a focused on the origin. and of course you have an indian origin prime minister in the u. k. now, um, 30 years ago in the ninety's we would have been hard pressed to predict that it was a very different society. and.
