the, the, the, we are in august on one of the most ethically, and culturally diverse regions on the entire planet. as you make your way through the start, you will discover each region is known for its own unique arts and traditions 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 auctions, 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 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'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 and i'm 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 air rios 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 gratifying. one eggs over easy running out soon top the toes medium, slightly running. in other words, you want to perfectly done and then, okay, tell me i just busted to your my dad is a super jolly guy. he's kind of like buddha, like almost east top me the trade. and i think that's really unique. i've been how that vision sense probably 1978 was my 1st year that i seriously went into it

the way that we catch of it is we catch him 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 is the, the, 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 fish,

and 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. we 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. it was 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 same as

yours. 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 that they shouldn't need. ice bait, access to their catch, be able to offload it, be able to take their full loads of fish, things are, are really challenging. we're last year for about an hour. then after that you're trying to produce perfect fish. every single step matters. how the fisherman touches the fashions unplugged right away? is it showing right away how long it see they spend? and then how quickly is that fish full aid and frozen and how as frozen is really important to and then once it's frozen household, does it stay on?

the sick is an incredible pushing for small mo, warner operators use that gets flight. 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 quality. there's a growing movement of people wanting to sell our cash directly. and there's 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 halibut bi, catch across the alaskan fisheries. today the council is voting on limits for the industrial translate the, 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 that you vote for the maximum bi catch reduction. you're now well aware of the status of that, however, it stocks in 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 us by cussing 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 how big population has since seen a decline leaving the future of halibut fishing for local communities in jeopardy and say is, you know, or 5 and also the diversity of 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 and take or 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 this the, he had some of the i think so. well i took a nice out. amanda says other similar models out there that are doing the right thing. and i want to be like we are the proof and important that we didn't do some of this work as a father takes, you know, some of the time i have messed with him. i really hope to have him involved.

right. let's bring him there fast. all the 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. my let so we can try or we can do whatever we get. so that's why with them you think you like being played with after coming up from 200 feet of water? yeah. one missing kid. okay, that was a really good job. 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 65 to 5 must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin mission, the state on the russians cruising and split the ortiz full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the fitness center. for what question did you say from stephen twist, which is the

question the leads and they apply and media of media clear the green proxy war is all about weakening and eventually destroying russia's military capacities. this is why there is no good faith appeals about it. negotiating into the conflict, they have chosen another forever war. hi, i'm rick sanchez. and i'm here to played with you. whatever you do, do not watch miners shells. seriously. why watch something that's so different. whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please, or do you have the state department to see i a weapons, bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your facts for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want myself to stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way instead

the if you'd like a nice, quiet little town. this would be a great place to live. but there are problems. i can't was seen a small town in poverty that are unfortunate not just as a small town in america. we absolutely important for now to talk about what our community needs to keep going. collectively. we all need to stay and vision 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 with the fish tanks 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 fishing go and goes fish can reproduce, and we can keep it healthy fisheries. this place is so amazing,

this cluster of rocks right out here is red fish rocks marine reserve. 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 and here's the marine reserve being protected area. and each of the dots is a place where i tagged the fish and released it. i think fundamentally what brought me here, where rockfish said along generation time, someone went 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 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 a 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 wild 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 to shop the art 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 reports as many fish providers are playing a shell game with suppliers. recent investigations and studies have shown miss labeling sometimes due to error, but often 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 invest labeling. 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 tests and they find that it's not red snapper. a 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. who fishes matters. and you can actually know your fisherman, 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 for, 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 the fishing 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 fish from alaska comes directly. this is about 50000 pounds.

around 20 below transparency is without a doubt a giant 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 from a cell in your own fest directly and you want to grow your business for a lot of time, you rely and other entities to process your fast to ship your fish to deliver your fresh companies that may not adhere to your values, at what point do you have enough sales, enough volume to like build the infrastructure to do everything yourself. we've processed the fisher ourselves. we deliver traceable fashion, ourselves. and we can make sure that what species officially south is the one that is on the name. that's a beautiful thing and i want to keep that growing and keep tell me the

this is a new cardiac municipal crane. this allows harvard users independent access to 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, hearing 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 roll 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 this 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 wanna be partners in success with you guys. all the basics are here for sure . a new era for daria's 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 value and get some adapters to issue the scene. with these efforts, there is a back any success on the way the

today? i know your fish longer is visit pretty crazy and our lot has changed and 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 i believe, and when 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. well, leave a day and having more flexibility to do our work. i'm looking forward to this. this would be nice. we have close to 3000 followers on facebook. i never thought it would 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 difference is is making an example for others of all the defies and system battle for me now is not in washington dc anymore. it's not been council meetings. so my both and the 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 will only remain if we commit to supporting and while their service to society is

under, is red hopes in our fisheries. and once again strive with possibilities still exist among those who continued fine. there's different levels of challenge and what's going to make us work in the small beneficiaries 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 believe, 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 sea building direct connections between fishermen and the public. that's great for the for not ultimately shifting policy 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. it is going to be around for the long run the

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 old world fits together. people in the middle are squared in the middle is got a lot of steam, monica, your

t v show is behaving very upset. this film cd that's coming out soon and better be or anyways, this little stab at the director there. the the

the the we are in august on one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse regions on the entire planet. as you make your way through the start, you will discover each region is known for its own unique arts and traditions the, the

at least one russian soldiers missing after ukraine launch is a strike on the black sea fleets headquarters. and the cry means that you have such a small boat with 5 you creating a cruise missile was shut down over the region according to russian officials. you guys present, joe biden results, and they promises to give kids a seconds. missiles that could be used to hit targets as far away as 300 kilometers as deep behind the front lines. on speaking of the un general assembly number western countries pull no punches as they slammed the world parties of fittings to represent them as well. calling for its before the for most goes to the world, you'll what you got the international money speak to scott and these are the top story.
