of the the neutrality is one of the most flexible concepts in international relations. but you can imagine which is why it's so useful, but why it is so inherently different to the difficult to grasp. so that the chances we have is the country subpoenaed with the meaning that is useful to them and hopefully to, to all this because i did, i did, i did score. it means i'm not taking the side of either of these completely

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 are trying to make it so that the boat is 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 food is 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

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 boat. so, you know, that's been a huge part of our income and our way of life is how that ration 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 got a fine one eggs over easy running your from top to tell medium slightly, ronnie, in other words, you want to perfectly done again. ok. ready busted to your my dad as 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 sense. i probably 1970 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 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 training session. 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 pig global supply chain. the 20th 11, i saw on 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 blood right away.

is it showing right away how long it see they spend? and then how quickly is that fish full 8 and frozen, and how as frozen is really important to and then once it's frozen household, does it stay in the country? the pacific is an incredible fishing for small mo, motor operators use. it gets way, 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 of quality. there's a growing movement of people wanting to sell our 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 2 peaks or fish. the small boat communities across alaska work to find solutions by catch from

industrial trawlers continues to threaten the halibut population. the halibut 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 is sharing and conserving that resource. their way 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 halibut bi, catch across the last can fisheries. today, the council is voting on limits for the industrial draft, the hello counsel. my name is john scale and i've been a small about how that 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 by catch reduction. you're now well aware of the status of that, 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 those 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 the big money, i mean that's the, 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, we're trying to for mostly diversity of the numbers are going to privatize make fissions corporate, which is happening to small businesses that are so unique to the center

are responsible for pushing around the professional to support businesses. a lot of times i wish that shares didn't exist. i wish i didn't have to be a manager. you are 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 vision 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 important

how you doing good. and we didn't do some of this work as a father saw thinks, you know, some of the time i have messed with him. i really hope to have him involved. right. let's bring them their best restaurant. 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. first thing trip this here, a little more peasy. 13 let's we can try or we can do it this way with them. you think you like being played with after coming up from 200 feet of water? one missing kid. ok, that was

a really good job. the what is the ukraine conflict? really all about we're told is about democracy. other say it's about the reuse baseboard or whatever that me. in fact, there is nothing noble about this conflict. it's just another huge gripped those in power. want to keep it that way. the store not surely wouldn't be the last of the school anyway. not much of a lot of lots of them will definitely push will pay you the frontal and much anyone beach from from source to the same thing that will push on. so my total induced to pictures,

you still have them over the i personally a student or so, or the c p lower integer due to it here. but it's getting of shape. i'd have to really but get to the my money or the law school or can't really tell the from me i'd be comfortable especially mute them full of semester floor and it well i really appreciate you in your dish. the dish out because this is the 1st put it towards reason they should more with pleasure much more as always do it with the show it to he will for use at the point of difference. what they did when you cause they were meant to joyce the if you 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 fishing 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 took on the issue of marine reserves that was close to fishing, that was a savings account for our community to essentially serve as a place for the fishing go and those fish can reproduce and we can keep a healthy fisheries. the best place is so amazing, this cluster of rocks right out here is a red fish rocks marine reserved. it's the marine reserve that our group of fishermen put forward. we wanted to integrate our experiential knowledge into choosing where it would be. and then we installed the framework where it would be

studied. and here's the main reason of 3 and protected area. and each of these dots is a place where i tagged to fish and released it. i think fundamentally what brought me here, where rockfish said a long generation time, someone would to 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 read for shocks. so there's a little transmitter, basically was implanted and efficient abdomen after tagging, the fist goes into his cage. when we get down to say 4050 feet door pops open, fish twins 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 fish 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 of rock and shop the are in cost. it's solve the snapper. people are willing to accept that their fishes ministry, fish van. you know,

who cares anymore about the small guy. a new report as many such providers are playing a shell game with suppliers, reese and investigations and studies have shown miss labeling. sometimes due to error, but on the result of outrage, broad is ramp in the industry. the same for the labeling in general has been found unfortunately to be full of mislabeled. and a lot of it is intentional. mislaid when 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 into by happened to be running dna test, they really wouldn't keep doing that proficient matters. and you can actually know your fishermen, the we operate port, orford,

sustainable seafood communities for to fishery. we catch our fish. i sit down overnight and lock in the fresh desk as fast as you can. troubles were to pay more for the fish, a fair trade price to create processing jobs and to sell puerto efficient port orford. you couldn't buy local fish and efficient town and that felt fundamentally wrong. so the chief, the goal of raising the price on fish so that 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 fish from alaska comes directly. this is about 50000 pounds and around 20 below transparency is without a doubt a julian hurdle. and we'll see from the supply chain and a small operations with the right intentions growing scale. it's an issue that must

be addressed if you're trying to expand for and selling your own fetch directly and you want to grow your business for a lot of time, you rely and then other entities to process your fast to ship your fish to deliver your fish companies that may not adhere to your values, at what point you have enough sales, enough volume to like build the infrastructure to do everything yourself. we've process the fisher ourselves. we deliver traceable fashion ourselves. we can make sure that west peace 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 kodiak municipal crane. this allows harper users independent access to the waterfront without having to go through

a large industrial processor with the site. and for this, for between 30 and 40 years, there can be no startup operations. they'll have an 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 in 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 on the yeah. our small boat slate, the opportunity to custom processes 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 went to the partners in

success with you guys. all the basics are here for sure. i knew it or a. yeah, donovan know a for diaries cash present in geography. issues like the battle for access to the waterfront, beneficent. ultimately determine whether it's possible to make a living we need to capitalize on dollars and get some adaptive station the i've seen with these efforts. there is a back in the success on the way the today and we want fish longer is visit pretty crazy and our was change in the business for us. we bought a 2nd truck, a bigger truck, 2nd boat from the end or 2. we also have several full time employees now they

believe in one i believe in, and i'm having fun doing what i'm doing. the sink we got cooking, we've grown pretty well there 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. we'll leave you a day 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 wouldn't be at that point and never thought it was possible. we do work in our community. we do everything that you would want a small business to do and keep doing that. the, the systems are going to have 2 choices make it work for us or to fail what the differences is making an example for other

the ball that defies that system. the battle for me now is not in washington dc anymore. it's not in town. so meetings, it's 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 go only remain if we commit to supporting. and while their service to society is under threat. that our fisheries will, once again thrive with possibilities still exist among those who continued. there's different levels of challenge to watson and make us work in the small mill

fisheries. providing that all the traceable market is absolutely key to our survival. at this point. the combinations of small scale fisheries, and it's 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 system is a more complete understanding of the system, recognizing the importance of habitat and managing as if we are and the only

predators that just taking fish out of the c building direct connections between fishermen and the public. that's great for, for not ultimately shifting policies and it's all for nothing. how can we leverage that network of people who care about where the sea food 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. it 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 retired and watching the 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 wrist, monica, your t for tv show misbehaving. very upset. this film sadie, that's coming out soon and better be anyways this little stab at the director
