7:30 pm
the point is the ukraine conflict, really all about we're told is about democracy. other say it's about the res baseboard or whatever that to me. in fact, there is nothing noble about this conflict. it's just another huge grip. those in power want to keep it that way. the the so i like to take him for i have to say the apple doesn't fall far from the jury.
7:31 pm
your whole decision call me at the other one, reading of 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. jake boat, fishermen remain back then we don't want the people of the same opportunity to experience fishing the way i did. and that's the
7:32 pm
saddest thing about this industry for 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 for 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 twice as raging industry stories of the united
7:33 pm
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 and the ocean 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 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
7:34 pm
that 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. 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, beautiful 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
7:35 pm
. i started in 1983 this year with my father on the on that side on the south end, or spent 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 goes. 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 a loss to our various casper sac is one of the few jig fishermen left and cody. jake mission is one of the oldest fishing is not the oldest vision in the world.
7:36 pm
that is essence, it's a line going down. the water with a couple of ups are very selective. you get over school and if it's not the right fish, then you can quickly move you know, out of the time in the tides, right. and in the winds, you see the fish in there or underneath the score. raise it up a little bit, the past it does to your office, the over 95 percent the rockfish coming out of alaska is all troll. now 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
7:37 pm
a lot of rockfish at once 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 of 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 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 caught everything. that's why, by the ninety's,
7:38 pm
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 other guy liked him. right. why susan, they were running 80 miles to be able to catch the fish and a 30 footfall question. so many a night, so i went home wondering if this guy was coming back,
7:39 pm
these young guys and all the time to get an official raise going and then pushed out and pushed out who's one of the few guys as i see 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 mode, see trial, it get the kinks, worked out and then go fishing boats like teams costs $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 expense. the,
7:40 pm
there's so many times of life for your 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 $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 colt. i'm
7:41 pm
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 share 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, the employees for 2 or 3 people in the sun and then a couple of guys on shore run and fish around. you can save your 25 percent out of your problem. i don't really either break 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 what $75000.00 is here. that's pretty good. anyone at home is
7:42 pm
making money and a lot of it, it has nothing to do with the business. sucks the cashier's 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 renting 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. then 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
7:43 pm
those who are are 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. 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 hurts, are local economies 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 of money. and they're making the rules and benefit themselves. the
7:44 pm
1935 passes easily led by dictator benito mussolini decided to expand its colonial empire in africa and take over the opium. by that time l. p a was the only fully independent state on the continent. back in 1896, its inhabitants were able to feed the italian colony justice and defend their independence. since then, rome craves for revenge for the humiliating defeat. in the morning of october, 3, 1935. without any announcement, the foxes attacked ethiopia and bombarded it most severely. d. d o b an armed forces bod, courageously. but the roots, l a. d. a battalion knew no bounds. they use not only massive bombing attacks on civilians, but also chemical weapons,
7:45 pm
toxic gases. this changed the course of the war. as a result of the occupation of ethiopia by the fascist 760000 people were killed. the capture of the african state was committed with europe, staff, and approval. britain and france recognize the annexation, giving the green light to further fascist expansion in the world and paving the way for the outbreak of world war 2. 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, we'll 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
7:46 pm
a job. so i was basically shut out of the how that victory. 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 that over there is the rest, the cannery row where you see the remaining processors, mostly all large corporate entities. things are really become consolidated in the afternoon. and various caspar that a local fisherman home for delta kodiak. i'm also a president of the alaska jake association, who i'm representing today. we do not support any new management program in the gulf of allows control 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
7:47 pm
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 is how we do it. it's pretty intense. one of 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,
7:48 pm
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 food. you know, i mean, that seems extreme, but it's not of the question. the community port offers pretty unique populations 1200 between the temper industry and fishing. it'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
7:49 pm
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 to tell him 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 a 3 year 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
7:50 pm
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 asked as 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 fish, 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 to holly 3 strings. i'm a little, i'm a little frustrated, right? we've got 4 strings of
7:51 pm
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 12th lead has been operating in the bearings. see right in sims, backyard, us catch shares of halliburton, alaska are limited to hooked in line fissures. so when these trawlers accidentally catch how the wind fishing for other species, therefore, to throw the fish back 5 and they're usually dead. these unintentionally cost fish are known as by couch. there 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
7:52 pm
america is going to be able to come up here and dish. no, no, right? the delivering fee, the bycatch 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 due on toes and just drove it side and what they are led to keep the costs to them of stirring those. how better of the size this costs doing business? thanks for come in, say one of the really great things about this bycatch issue is it unites groups cuz it's really important to everybody that 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,
7:53 pm
she led the 5 in which local communities successfully band trolling in southeast alaska. you had stuff in here, fisherman prowl ocean weaving waste in wake despite hunger. how's that for headlines? 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 in the eco system 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 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
7:54 pm
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 main fishery service and from travel industry. i know easily at the time was sure that with this much support from communities and small but freshman, the counselor would do the right thing. it took another 5 years before they took action to close trolling. it was the largest troll ban 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.
7:55 pm
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 as celebrated the efficiency in affordability of an industrial food 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,
7:56 pm
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 secret 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 of the cleaning of a fish that way, it keeps a flash, nice and clean thanks a lot higher quality product. prior to going out on the lander, i was doing work creating a mobile app, trying to connect people with local c food options. and during that time working on that project, i realize there needed to be more options and it coincided perfectly with meeting time and session on the phone.
7:57 pm
the . this is not typical in the industry where the captain does a lot of delivering. and the captain is a fish car to 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 fish mongers, our ideas 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. they were swimming around 10 hours ago, which we can do cod sustainably. the direct market approach, it has this differences are gonna walk in with
7:58 pm
a box of fish off the boat. we're not going to have suit and tie and fancy delivery teams. the . the problem was that the no name was what i mean to me was you got it for the lower ability. when, when is the check? i can see what we, i drove you about the one i got to want to set up the temporary like what the issue is. she thought that he has to go ahead and refund me to choose him when he's already on the policy, you know, in syria, in the most,
7:59 pm
it won't be seen by easy. it's just what is it going to get? no, no, and i'm of course it only opens. he got a gun that will allow us to send anyone at all. no, that's fine. the what is the ukraine conflict? really all about we're told is about democracy. other say it's about the res baseboard or whatever that to me is that there is nothing noble about this conflict . it's just another huge grip. those in power want to keep it that way.
8:00 pm
the say aggression is those begin assessing will not be an easy ride. some people think it is probably obligates 26000000 this year in new jersey, military authorities, war and of a tough risk fall. and so if the echo was a group of west african nations picks up arms against the country, maintaining the flow b. u member state hungry stays neighboring, serbia is offering to help secure its supplies of russian gas through a southern european route. if you'd crane attend all around owners, those full in in it's 19 eighties war against iraq come the 35th anniversary of its ends with veteran saying the west held at major roland, soaking the tensions. our enemies grew. number.
