has not been able to restore the sovereignty, neither military, no security, nor administrative of your country. this is also a reality. we must not look fault culprits outside this affair. okay. understood that the question to a large extent pointed a finger at front as the recall's a full the problems they've been going through to you and has continued to reach it . suggestions that is peacekeeping mission that has failed to protect civilians into the i see training that's of the force is doing is off, was based on everything possible to fulfill the mandate in a robust man. but we need it 25 years. the d. c kept to use the mandates of emission that many states seem to do its job. well, it's not to play a couldn't get the speech from john his book, and that is how things are shaping up for now. checking later on in the day for updates. so for myself and the whole team here at ortiz, which to cut out the boy by and enjoy the rest of the weekend, the,
5:31 am
[000:00:00;00] the in the
5:32 am
box and loves to be down here. so i like to take them for i have to say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. 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 jet gold fishermen remain back then we all want
5:33 am
the people out of 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, as 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 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 small coastal fishing communities. do we even need the small mom and pop
5:34 am
operators? i think a lot of people are concerned about this. the white, raging industry series 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 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 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,
5:35 am
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 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 a regional economy sort of a way of life. and it was an envelope 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 in coastal america, like we have never seen
5:36 am
the i started in 1983 this year with my father on the on that site 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 parent, this with a rod and reel. is that kind of a feeling the school right there? the jeep go. 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 counterpart. but it's quickly becoming lost.
5:37 am
our various casper sac is one of the few. jake fishermen, less than kodiak technician is one of the oldest fishing is not the oldest vision 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, out of the time in the tides, right. and, and the winds see the fish and there are underneath the score rates it up a little bit. the past of the, you know, just to your office, the over 95 percent the rockfish coming out of alaska is all troll going. that means it's called a large snaps,
5:38 am
with what they call rock hopper here. that drags on the bottom with these big tires that roll over rocks and knives, tearing down pinnacles, caring 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 me, 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'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
5:39 am
millions of birds, dolphins, wales, turtles. they quart 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
5:40 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 is young guys and all the time this gets 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 it 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. you might land a few $1000.00 worth of fish, but that's before he pays his crew. on a bad day,
5:41 am
he might not even cover his expense. the, 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 $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 quick scan. kind of like the sharp, i guess the in the 1990. so need for conservation was finally acknowledged, and new management of fisheries was established until been fishers were all racing
5:42 am
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 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 $36.00 foot boat, the employees for 2 or 3 people in the sun and then a couple of guys on shore run in fisher around. you can take a 25 percent hit on your profit margin. really either breaking even of losing money, businesses like tens, he has to pay
5:43 am
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 dollars this year. so that's pretty good. anyone at home, that's making money and a lot of it, it has nothing to do with the business sucks, the pictures 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,
5:44 am
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 those to 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 mean walking out. we're going to walk in and tell the public and sign of life. and 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 or 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
5:45 am
the the your was pulled from this is how could i escape this to the resolve to not get bored? i to you some money you are doing the 1st of all you do i do i need to do that mostly the way we have this new do the business to do monthly thing on the job. great. yesterday the 1st one being unemployed. so i see me in nevada because i'm just using some of the she left for
5:46 am
the so they brought him to the colleges and because honest assessment of his lunch and then do table talk about the process is when the preferred to the problem was picked it up and put it on. yeah. but as on your part from sri, you find it pretty for julie is i don't really know, believe kids know the offers for this night. they push out the what do they level of floating in your school previous yours. oh yeah, for the description of of the 4 digit else of my phone, i'm not going, but it's not. the real thing to do is i have to go a little if it is a little boy who was born on the slow before and not been able to work on your cell phones all any. and you have that because that gives you relief. the
5:47 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, will 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 or 2 after that, i could not get a job. so i was basically shut out of the hell that fishery. 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. busy all the way down there is the boat yard for small boats. and over there is the rest, the cannery row where you see the remaining processors, mostly all large corporate entities. things that really didn't. i'm consolidated the afternoon. and various caspar that a local fisherman home for the kodiak. i'm also a president of the alaska jake association, who i'm representing today. we do not support any new management program. the gulf of allows control sector,
5:48 am
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 air 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. we're, you're both stay on trailers and you're actually lifted in by crane into the open ocean. the is how we do it here. it's pretty intense. one of the most unique things about port orford is we're restricted in both size,
5:49 am
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 mean benefits? my brother, the biggest 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 about this is the goal that are 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 offered pretty unique populations. 1200 between the temper industry and fishing. there's what it's all been about around here. this is the furthest west incorporated town in the continental 40. and then you buy
5:50 am
a boat and you go further west. the, everybody is a healthy, lied fish, and we all use the same type of gear. it prevents us all from growing into the other sectors of trauma 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 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 it through your
5:51 am
golden 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 fishing. are we land between $4.00 and $5000000.00 worth of seafood here in port offers? 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 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 stocks has meant that native fisheries have had to reduce their cash in the
5:52 am
interest of maintaining the fish population. right now i have probably 3 strings. i'm a little, i'm a little frustrated for things out there one year the we've got a couple of good size like right now. so just to kind of day we want to have right here the over the years. seattle, base 12 and has been operating in the bearing see, right. and simians, backyard, us catch shares of halibut and alaska are limited to hook and lines fishers. so when these trawlers accidentally catch how the wind facing for other species, they're forced to throw the fish back 5,
5:53 am
then they're usually dead. these unintentionally cost fish are known as bike, which should be no way. we should be shut down because we live right here and then 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 bearings see the bike, which 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 its side 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, say one of the really great things about this bycatch issue is it unites groups because it's really important to everybody,
5:54 am
the cares about the how that resource linda bank. and the fisher herself is the director of the alaska long lines fishermen's association in the early ninety's. she loved the fight in which local communities successfully band trolling in southeast alaska. we had stuff in here, fishermen prowl ocean weaving waste in week despite hunger. how's that for headline? 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 the raffish, and the box and, 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,
5:55 am
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 man said if you can do one thing for southeast alaska, it'll 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 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 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
5:56 am
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 up, 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 the for over a century the us as celebrated the efficiency in affordability of an industrial
5:57 am
food system that processes in preserve massive amounts of food for consumers that's included in today. there's an intricate international supply chain to provide to it was cheap, but 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 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 up a fish, but why it keeps the flash nice and clean. thanks a lot. higher quality product prior to going out on this and lander, i was doing, we're creating a mobile app,
5:58 am
trying to connect people with local seafood options. and during that time working on their product, they realize they're needed to be more options and it coincided perfectly with needing time and session on the phone. the . it's just not typical in the industry where the captain does a lot of delivering in the captain is a fish car to really sad to think about this area, having relied upon their fisheries and with a lot of 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 sci fi really is. we
5:59 am
want to have the ability to have a fish on our customers plate that was swimming around 10 hours ago, which we can do pod, sustainably direct market approach. it has different so we're gonna walk in with a box of fish off the boat. we're not going to have suit and tie and fancy delivery schemes. the some without china, without the shop. i think the jew 20 becomes a i'm to talk visit. i'm very kind to, to tell you. so why do you the to business when wishing much because you know, uh they were not happy with just trying to port, i absolve the news reports and media and 2 countries that very important walks presidency has made some very important for the citizens in industrial operation. for team and had been,
6:00 am
oh it is new. must have gone for the whole far as the the, the us some box it up to kind of get confirmed intelligence from the so called 55 states was behind just computers, obligations of new daddy's comfortable in both left and the kidding opa seats active as rushes foreign minister calls for over full of clothing decision make stressing nothing un needs. bennett earl who, paul group site for x amount heating way to study issued for the middle of the session. it's high time to reform the existing global governance architecture. as soon as possible, it hasn't met the requirements of the ear off for a long time. the expansion of the security console is also becoming more and more into them on the biggest stores of the week to a fee. fi is agreed off just by compliance and then
