10:31 am
maximum to be down here. so i like to take the say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree here. hold especially for me and the other one, ready to go. 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, both fishermen remained back. then we got watch. the
10:32 am
people have the same opportunity to experience facing 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. who 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 taken 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, or the
10:33 am
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 white, raging industry stories of the united states on one side are people with deep fruits and 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 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
10:34 am
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 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 are 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 foundation, not just of a regional economy but of a way of life. and it was an emblem of what was best about america,
10:35 am
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?
10:36 am
the chief goes fishing is one of the most sustainable methods of catching fish and its impact on ocean ecosystems is a fraction of that, if it's industrial counterparts, but it's quickly becoming lost. our various casper sac is one of the few jake fishermen left and cody. jake fishing is one of the oldest fishing is not the oldest fishing in the world. that is essence, it's a line going down the water with a couple of of some very selective. you get over a 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 massive rafters you know, just to your office, the
10:37 am
over 95 percent the rockfish coming out of alaska is all troll go. 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, tearing out for catching a lot of rock fish at once for as well as other spaces kind of 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 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
10:38 am
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 a newspapers all around the world. the united nations did finally ban those things from that fishing became a conservation issue, not just a allocation issue. the
10:39 am
guy like tim ryder losses and they were run an 80 miles to be able to catch the fish in a 30 footfall question. so many a night, so i went home wondering if this guy was coming back, these young guys and all the time to get the fisheries going and then pushed out and pushed out who'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 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 uh go fishing boats like teams costs $2.00 to $300000.00. and every trippy takes costs around $500.00
10:40 am
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 expenses. the there's so many times of life where 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 $1000000000.00 or whatever it is, i do exact same thing i'm doing right now. tomorrow the, the fishing is peaks and valleys. pretty 6 can kind of
10:41 am
like the sharps i guess in the 1990. so need for conservation was finally acknowledged in new management and 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 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 at least 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 that employees will 2 or 3 people in the
10:42 am
sun and then a couple of guys on shore run and fish around. you can take a 25 percent of your profit margin. really either breaking even of 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 what $75000.00 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. 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
10:43 am
a majority of the permits and quote of 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 in the private hands. and i think over time, the next logical inheritors of this resource are going to be corporations. for most of our other fed up we've had enough with policies designed to consolidate policies designed to privatize designed to squeeze out or independent fishermen to 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
10:44 am
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 the money. and they're making the rules and benefits themselves. the russian states never as tight as i'm sort of the most sense community invest in most all sense of the, in the system must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on russia routing and split the r t spoke neck, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube. the question, did you say stephen twisted the
10:45 am
costs of rick sanchez and i'm here to plan with you. whatever you do, you do not watch my new shelves seriously. why watch something that's so different little opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do have the state department to see i a weapons bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want marshall state main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction. but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way and say the
10:46 am
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 fishery say 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 of 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 the afternoon. and various caspar that a local fisherman home for data kodiak. i'm also a president of the alaska jake association,
10:47 am
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. this is how we do right here and it's pretty intense. one of the most unique things about port orford is we're
10:48 am
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 food. you know, i mean, that seems extreme, but it's not out of the question. the community port orford is pretty unique. population is 1200. between the temper industry and fishing. that's what it's all
10:49 am
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 troll 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 bo. if you don't have somebody to pass that on to in your family,
10:50 am
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 port offered the 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 of 400 people solely dependent on fish. declining halibut,
10:51 am
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 strings of the we've got a couple of good size like right now. so this is kind of the day we want to have right here the over the years. seattle, base 12th and has been operating in the bearings c. like in simians, backyard, us catch shares of how women in alaska are limited to hooked and lines fixtures. so
10:52 am
when these trawlers accidentally couch, however, when facing 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 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, not right. the see the bike, which is accounting for almost all of what's available to be taken of the hell of it stuck. 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 its side what they are allowed to keep the costs to them of during those how better of the size just costs doing business.
10:53 am
thanks for calvin. say one of the really great things about this bike has 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, she led the fight in which local communities successfully band trolling in southeast alaska and stuff in here. fishermen prowl ocean, leaving 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 and the eco system and their rakfish and the black hat and how of it. so this is the line of their catch per unit effort . so how much they were cap things per toe when they were trawling for this species of rockfish co pacific ocean perch. and then this is what was happening to the
10:54 am
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 juno, every community in se passed a resolution in support of the closure and submitted them all with the council, it was a very motion pack 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 in small but freshman, the counselor would do the right thing. it took another 5 years before they took
10:55 am
action to close trolling. it was the largest troll van 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's why the buyers, why are you going to pay top dollar for my fish when you can buy something else and just label it whatever of the for over
10:56 am
a century, the u. s. is celebrated the efficiency in affordability of an industrial system that processes and preserves the massive amounts of food for consumers that's included. and today, there's an intricate international supply chain. the 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 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 of the fish, but why it keeps the flashlight spring queen. thanks a lot. higher quality products going out on the finland or i was doing. we're
10:57 am
creating a mobile app trying to connect people with local c food options. and during that time working on that project and realize there needed to be more options and it coincided perfectly with meeting time and session 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 importance of food, we're kind of losing that new fish mongers,
10:58 am
our ideas directly selling fish throughout new england's kind of re establish what new england sea food 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 prod, sustainably, direct market approach. it has this differences are gonna walk in with the market, the fish off the boat. we're not going to have suit and tie and fancy delivery schemes. the
10:59 am
as soon as 2016 numerous monuments, the soviet soldiers in poland, ukraine and the baltic states have been destroyed. all vandalized fish their stuff, but it must pharmacy certainly within. yeah. unless or even some others could i ask if i really think so that's the most on whether it's it's especially almost 3 of the police government denies the rule of soviet so just in the victory of a non system, and is it raising historical memories of world war 2 is the 40 piece when you order . although it did seem the non c regimes, the trustees would remain, think send people lose consciousness forever. but as long as russell phobia is profitable and brings dividends, you are willing to have a to rewrite the cost. yes, to, to take up the, i'll provide i need to see things because it looks like so i need october
11:00 am
30th the dds, a mastercard, ukrainian conscripts sent on a suicide to charge a cut down along the front line. i have more down payment visits, fees for those year, regions through the phone. the western media is claims that ukrainian only has reached russian defense. it's also a, has the well, the 90 protest is what rested on friday as demonstrations. and yet a band continued for us polls consecutive day on media. and so i'm good at the government for what they see. i surrender no, go no car back to us or by john ocean to the points. and he wants to oxy us
