are the same rom, just don't you have to shape house because the application and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look for common ground, the, the the

that, the say the apple doesn't fall far from the drain. hold efficient, call me at the other one rating 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. tim writer is one of the few jet gold fishermen remain back then we go on the

people out of the same opportunity to experience finishing the way i did. and that's the saddest thing about this industry for bickering and arguing over microphones. and you know what council meetings are in the press? who suffers the most? is that a little kid that might not have a chance to go fishing or pursue his dream? all these things are there with my son or 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, scientists and their science. but i do the, the, the, the, the small coastal fishing communities do we even need these 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 fishers, the fish and the 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 to your 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 some tilted in favor of industrial fishing that even the 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 base food system. 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, the foundation, 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 a better lives for their children. we're looking at a shift in coastal america, like we have never seen the

. i started in 1983 this year with my father on the on that side on the south end. or is that much my childhood? that's all exactly the same as a kid does. when it goes out in the lake and the canoe and his vision for a pan fish 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 lost art. daria's caspar sac is one of the few jig fishermen left and cody

j. fishing is one of the oldest fishing is not the oldest vision in the world. that is essence, it's a line going down the waters with a couple of looks. very selective and get over school. and if it's not the right fish, then you can quickly move you know, a lot of it's just 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 a dusky rock this the over 95 percent the rockfish coming out of alaska is all troll going. that means it's called a large snaps with what they call rock hopper here. that drags on the bottom with

these big tires that roll over rocks, sometimes tearing down pinnacles, caring out for catching a lot of rock dish. no one's full, as well as other spaces trying when it's done in its worst form, has a leveling effect. and a has a tendency to really just sort of strip away everything that's there, the carls and find it for, 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've reached a critical level in international waters in the late eighty's with the use of a new generation of unimaginably long that, 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, 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 guy like tim ryder losses and they were run an 80 miles to be able to catch the

fish in a 30 foot vault and question so many a night. so i went home wondering if this guy was coming. that's crazy on guys. you know, they're trying to get the fisheries going and then pushed out and pushed out. he's one of the few guys is i see puts in the extra effort. he just loves that. and i'm glad he is going on big about the 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 some ot 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 him around $500.00. on a good day. he might land a few $1000.00 worth of fish, but that's before he pays his crew. on a bad day, he might not even cover his expensive the

news . there's so many times of life for you. people don't 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 fishing is peaks and valleys. pretty 6 can kind of like the sharps i guess the in the 1990 is the need for conservation was finally acknowledged. a new management of fisheries was established until been fishers 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 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 cash 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 short run and fish around. you can save you 25 percent here on your problem. i don't 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 that i know for leasing out the flanders. he's getting roughly $175000.00 a year. so that's pretty good. anyone at home is making money and a lot of it, it has nothing to do with the business sucks. catchers 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 in the private hands. i think

overtime the next logical inheritors of this resource are going to be corporations for those to our other fed up we've had enough with policies design to consolidate policies designed to privatize designed to squeeze out or independent fishermen. please join mean walking out. we're going to walk in and tell the public and sign of life. and what's been happening is 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 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 isn't working. and there's a select few people at the top that are making all the money. and they're making the rules and benefits themselves the

as soon as 2016, numerous monuments to serve you as soldiers in poland, ukraine and the baltic states have been destroyed, all vandalized fish their stuff, but it must be the most or even some others. could i ask if i think so that's the most on whether it's, it's especially almost 3 of the police government denies the rules,

so it'd be its own just in the victory over naziism. and is it raising historical memories of world war 2? is the 40 piece from your story. although it did seem the non c regimes, the trustees would remain, thinks 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 past year, says click here to provide this leaving a message i need to see because to talk, so i need to raise 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 fishery say,

for in their eyes 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 a small boat fleet, and kodiak. this is basically the waterfront of. busy all the way down there is the boat yard for small boats. it over there is the rest, 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 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 research. the future of our fishing community depends on access of 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 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 both 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 if the, you know, i mean that seems extreme, but it's not out of the question the community port orford is pretty unique. the population is 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 of the light fishing and we all use the same type of gear. it prevents us all from growing into the other sectors of charl towing. that's 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 4 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 offer. i mean, it's a big dam deal if that goes away, it will just lead to 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 access to that for a community. see me in the former mayor of saint paul island lives in a community. the 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've probably 3 strings. i'm a little, i'm a little frustrated but we've got 4 things out

the we've got a couple of good size like right now. so those are kind of the day we want to have right here the over the years. seattle, base 12 and has been operating in the bearings, the light in sims, backyard, us catch shares of how women in alaska are limited to hooked and lines fixtures. 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 bi catch. there should be no way we should

be shut down because we live right here that everybody else that comes out wherever they come from in america is going to be able to come up here and dish. no, not right. the see, the bi catch is accounting for almost all of what's available to be taken of the hell them in 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 costs to them of during those how better over the size, just costs doing business. thanks for come in there. one of the really great things about this bike has issue is it unites groups because it's really important to everybody, the 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 led the fires in which local communities successfully band trolling in southeast alaska and stuff in here. fisherman, proud ocean leaving waste in wake despite hunger houses add for headlines. the fishermen 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 eco system, and the raffish, and the black hat and how of it. so this is a line of their catch per unit effort. so how much they were catching per toe 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 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 troll 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. and today, there's an intricate international supply chain that provides us with cheap fish, put the costs to the oceans, the fish, the small scale fissures and the consumer, or staggering. there's more than one good way to 3 to fit the main problem with the, with the seafood supply chain to 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 putting out the fish, but why it keeps the flashes and claim thanks a lot higher quality products prior to going out on the fin lander, i was doing, we're creating a mobile app, trying to connect people with local c food options. and during that time working on

their product, they realize they're needed to be more options and it coincided perfectly with meeting time and session on the phone. the . it's just not typical in the industry where the captain does a lot of delivering. and 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 thinks it 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 cod 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 delivery machines. the, [000:00:00;00] the at the end of the 18th century britain began the illegal opium, afraid in china. this hard drugs causing addiction and literally destroying the human body became a gold mine, or businessman from the foggy l. b. a. however,

the ruling chinese gene dynasty tried to resist and to stop the illegal trade, which provoked the wrath of the london business community. in 1840 without a declaration of war, the english fleet began to seize and plunder chinese coastal boards. the barley, armed and morally drain chinese army, was unable to provide adequate resistance. the jing empire was forced to hand hong, gone over to england and open its boards for trading the leads of goods in 1856, france, and the united states joined in the robbery of china. the anglo french troops defeated the chinese occupied basie and committed an unprecedented robbery. destroyed and blundered the wealth of the un menu one palace. the defeat of the jing dynastee and the do opium wars fled to the transformation of the celestial empire into a semi colony of european states and started the age of humiliation. attend the

sale of opium took on colossal proportions and led to the horrible depths of millions of ordinary chinese 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 can be difficult. so we're kind of hoping to get a nice refrigerated truck that way we can start, you know, adding 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, find a way to make a direct connection from the vote to the people that are gonna eat the fish and by doing so, trying to eliminate the middleman and costs that are associated with the auction, the distributor the processor, the secondary distributors that bring it to restaurants and then the grocery store
