steven, our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the services for the question, did you say they requested the and the facts and loves to be down here? so i like to take them for i have to say the apple doesn't fall far from the dream . your hold, especially 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 living trim rider is one of the few jig, godfrey sherman remained back. then we all want the people of 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, what council meetings are in the press. suffers the most is a 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 for scientists and their science. but i do 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 twice as 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 fissures. the fish heavy oceans fishes, 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 are most broken system or is 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

that even with catch, that is brought in by small scale. fissures is the value and there minimal profits are diminished. the industrialization of the seaford system is mimicking industrialization of our land. basically 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 political 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 it better lives for their children. we're looking at a shift and coastal america, like we have never seen the

. i started in 1983 vision with my father on the, on that site on the south end. or it's not much my childhood. that's all exactly the same as a kid does. when he goes out in the lake and the canoe and his vision for a parent, this with a rod and reel, is that kind of a feeling the school right there? the jeep go. fishing is one of the most sustainable methods of catching fish and its impact on ocean ecosystems is a fraction of that of its industrial counterparts. but it's quickly becoming lost. our various casper sac is one of the few jig fishermen left and cody jake mission is one of the older, especially if 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, then you can quickly move you know, a lot of the time in the tides, right. and and the winds see the fish and there are underneath the school. raise it up a little bit, the passive rafter of the, you know, just to your office, the over 95 percent. the rock this coming out of alaska is all for all going. that means it's called a large snaps, with what they call rock hopper here. that drags on the bottom with this big tires that roll over rocks and knives tearing down pinnacles, tearing out for catching a lot of rockfish. that one's for, as well as other spaces trying,

when it's done in its worst form, has a leveling effect. 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 operations, 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 eighties 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 why, 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 right glasses and they were running 80 miles to be able to catch a fish and a 30 footfall question. so many a night, so i went home wondering if this guy was coming back. these young guys, you know,

the time is getting officially is gone and then pushed out and pushed out. who's one of the few guys is i, steve puts in the extra effort. he just loves it. 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 boat sea 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 a screw. on a bad day. he might not even cover his expensive the news

. there's so many times of life for you people to believe in what they're doing or they just go through the motions. i'm passionate about when i do, i'm proud of the fact that we have a minimal footprint where we go. i know if i hit the powerball for $40000000.00 or a $1000000000.00 or whatever it is, i knew exact same thing i'm doing right now. tomorrow the, the best thing 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. a new management of fisheries was established. until then fissures 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 i'm

basically a fan of catch shares in a certain configuration, which is the person who fishes owns a share of the allowed catch. 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 $36.00 foot boat employees for 2 or 3 people in the sun and then a couple of guys on shore run and fish around. you can save you 25 percent on your profit. really either breaking even 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 founders, he's getting roughly $175000.00 a year. 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 cashier's for kindly campbell, 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 sorts, if you will, to be the next inheritors. the resource is a majority of the permits and quote, a 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 overtime the next logical inheritors of this resource are going to be corporations,

printers or fed up. we've had enough with policies design to consolidate policies designed to privatize, designed to squeeze out are independent fishermen. please join me and walking out. we're going to walk in and tell the public and sign a light on 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 isn't working. and there's a select few people at the top that are making all of money, and they're making the rules and benefit themselves. the

the, i'm a film director, i've written many strips during my career. but i thought really curious, cutting neural networks, collaborate with a human to make a documentary film or new setup for much. i'm not sure about this because i have of shared comergence this your more than so it was more list, you know, this is what i don't know, but i would feel with exclusiveness and letting us know if it was like do you feel are used to things come up with the positive, which look a lot finally, probably for you really feel ports of literature sort of by the way, we haven't introduced ourselves. i have the strangest feeling we've met somewhere before the as soon as 2016 numerous monuments, the soviet soldiers in poland, ukraine and the baltic states have been destroyed or vandalized ish,

their stuff. but it must be the most certainly within. yeah. unless or even some of us could ask if i really think so that's the most on whether it's, it's best for almost 3 of the police government denies the rule of. so it'd be assumed just in the victory of a non system. and is it raising historical memories of world war 2 is the 48 this one yesterday. although it did seem to notice the range of trustees would remain things in people's consciousness, but have a but as long as russell phobia is profitable and brings dividends, you are willing to have a to rewrite the cost. yes. yeah. most of the i'll provides for the stadium upstairs and i need the seats in the car to tax. so i need to be at 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 fisheries a 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 the 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 of the cannery row where you see the remaining processors mostly all large corporate entities. things that really consolidated the afternoon. and various caspar that a local fisherman home for about kodiak. i'm also a president of the last to dig association who i'm representing today. we do not

support any new management program in the gulf of alaska trial sector, which monetize us the fishery resources. the future of our fishing community depends on access 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 air 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 is how we do it. it's pretty intense. what are the most unique things about? port orford is we're restricted in boat 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 is 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 food. you know, i mean, that seems extreme, but it's not out of the question. the community port orford is pretty unique. the populations 1200 between the timber 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 live person and we all use the same type of gear. it prevents us all from growing into the other sectors of trauma and towing that 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 it through your

goal. in years the permits do leave out of 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 offers. 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 fiche. 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 communal are 400 people solely dependent on sufficient 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 have probably 3 strings. i'm a little, i'm a little frustrated for things out there one year the we've got a couple of good size like right now. so this is kind of day we want to have right here the over the years seattle base 12 food has been operating in the bearing. see right in simians, backyard, us catch shares of halibut and alaska are limited to hooked in line fishers. so when these trawlers accidentally catch how the wind fishing for other species,

they're forced to throw the fish back 5 and they're usually dead. these unintentionally cause fish are known as by couch. there should be no way we should be shut down because we live right here and 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, no, right. the delivery and 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 are distant 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 inside what they are allowed to keep the cost to them of during those how better of the size costs doing business. thanks for come in, say one of the really great things about this bike, how tissue is it unites groups,

cuz it's really important to everybody to cares about the how that resource linda bank. and the fisher herself is the director of the alaska long lines fisherman's association. in the early ninety's, she lived the 5 in which local communities successfully band trolling in southeast alaska. you had stuff in here, fisherman prowl ocean, leaving waste in wake despite hunger. how's that for his line? the fisherman of southeast alaska had a long term concern about trolling. having watched the 4 inflates, operate right off our coast and huge decline and the ecosystem and the rakfish and the black had and how of it. so this is the line of their catch per unit effort. so how much they were catching per toe when they were trolling for this species of rockfish co pacific ocean perch. and then this is what was happening to the

abundance of that fish. that's 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, to close this area to drawing towards co, wrangell g. you know, every community and 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 travel industry i know easily at the time was sure that with this much support from communities and small but fishermen, the counselor would do the 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 by 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 system. that processes and preserves massive amounts of food for consumers that's included in today. there's an intricate international supply chain that provides us with cheap fish, but the costs to the oceans, the fish, the small scale fissures and the consumer, or staggering. there's more than one good way to treat a fit. the main problem with the, with the seafood supply chain is 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 up a fish, but why it keeps the flashlights in clean. thanks a lot. higher quality product. prior to going out on the lander, i was doing,

we're creating a mobile app, trying to connect people with local seafood options. and during that time working on that project there realize there needed to be more options and it coincided perfectly with needing time and fishing 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 moving 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 pod, sustainably direct market approach. it has this differences. we're gonna walk in with a bunch of fish off the boat. we're not going to have suit and tie and fancy deliveries chines the the body of 3 people is of for instance

coming your what's the somebody loved to have to choose between you. if you want to get to the store, the next this cars there, the word made that up we have the beat was off of the cool my lot. so shift things to get suitable for something that you all a lot in that your life as

a piece of off the it is breaking news on the, on the international as 5 people who've been injured off throw ukrainian drones strikes a trading station in the city of course it's a gression as low as to get this. this will not be an easy right. this, some people think it is. they will be obligates 26000000 new sherry and that new jazz ministry of our and he's one of a tough response. if the echo watched approve of west african nations takes up against the country, those are really just strife is on the rise and practiced on with hundreds of christians, protest are about muslim violence against the churches and the homes. following allegations of glass for me to was the quote on here at our table put the issue up for debate with the title of.
