The secondary distributors that bring it to restaurants. And then the Grocery Store and the people that you know, are working at the counter trying to make it so that the boats getting a fair price, not based on international markets, but based on what it takes to have a livelihood. The, i dont like to use the word locals. I like to use the word intelligently, a little more. Knowing where that fluids coming from having the relationships with the people its coming from. Thats what are manually flex. Well get Text Messages from amanda before the podium saying that heres whats coming in. What do you want . The qualities definitely there as well as depression. Weve also been able to open up the doors to new areas for delivery. Working with us, they know exactly what theyre 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 line boats. So, you know, thats been a huge part of our income and our way of life is how that fish and theres 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 on top, the toes medium slightly. Ronnie, in other words, you want to perfectly done again. Ok. Ready busted to your my dad is a super jolly guy. Hes kind of like buddha, like hes taught me the trade and i think thats really unique. Ive been how that vision since probably 1978 was my 1st year that i seriously went into it the way that we catch of it is we catch him on whats called long lines and theyre 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 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 shin. I think its actually better the so when i started off, you know, youre 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 whole pig Global Supply chain. The 20th 11, i sold 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, theres a better way where i can sell my fish directly. I can receive their price and people receiving the session and midwest getting an incredible product. 6 salmon shares. Yeah. Uh what, uh, what are you looking for . What are you looking to do . Any kind of directory consumer fish business, its really difficult and that the amount of capital it takes to get started just to have all the services that they shouldnt 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 the year last year. When youre 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 its frozen household, this is stay on. The sink is an incredible fishing for small mo, warner operators as it gets flights, 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. Theres a growing movement of people wanting to sell their cash directly and as a Consumer Base that really supports that. So i think that in the future well 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 hell of it, fishermen have taken Big Productions and their quota. They are conserving and you really cant have a healthy, sustainable resource unless all sectors everybody involved is sharing and conserving that resource. Their way fisheries are changing. Its the way our country is changing. Its increasingly harder for Small Businesses to make it more specific Fishery Management Council is responsible for regulating how the bycatch across the alaskan fisheries today, the council is voting on limits for the industrial translate, the hello council. My name is john scale and ive been a small boat held at long liner for just about exactly 40 years. And since that time ive made uh at least 50 percent of my yearly income and up to maybe 90 percent on the pallet. So id like to request that when you vote, you vote for the maximum bi catch reduction. Youre now well aware of the status of that, however, it stocks in the need for conservation. Youve heard from a lot of people, the exploitable biomass is near historical levels. Growth rates have dropped. Were 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 were, were calling out to you folks who are watching us fall or either enjoying the view or missing the fact that were about to hit the bottom everybody is living in denial here and because of big money, i mean thats so thats the only way i can 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 of the bearing see the new limits are an insult to the many locals to testify. And the total, howard with population has since seen a decline, leaving the future of halibut fishing for local communities in jeopardy and, and say this, you know, were trying to promote the diversity of the numbers are going down. Privatized makes our fissions corporate, which does have to Small Businesses. Theres something unique to the center responsible for pushing or how to support businesses. A lot of times i wish that shares didnt exist. I wish i didnt have to be a manager. And the kids to hey, how passionate you are by your family. So hopefully weve driven home the point to them that theres 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, hes not vision the he had some of the i think so. Well i look 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 good that we didnt 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. Lets bring them their best restaurant. Believe anyone else in the fall . I got it done. You have the skills. Yeah. Because thats what i do for what im going to take you on a card. First thing trip this here, a little more peasy 13. 00 lets we can try when we can do it that 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 as explains much over 5 to counter offensive stalls. Western leaders have made a remarkable, rhetorical tippett binding says it has already lost the board. The secretary of state lincoln says russia has lost their narrative because a form of pseudo reality because making the claim ukraine is wendy, is untenable. I feel the spelling hes still working through the journey of developing an identity, a national identity. Theres a, you know, we talked earlier about the vibrancy and the dynamics of the media. All sorts of use and narratives have a chance to, to face and come to the for also has been down side in the everything is up for debate. Nothing is agreed on the of the issue like a nice, quiet little town. This would be a great place to live. But there are problems that kind of was being 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 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 what the fish tanks 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 that essentially serves as a place for the fish and go and goes fish can reproduce, and we can keep a healthy fisheries. This place is so amazing. This cluster of rocks right out here is a red fish rocks Marine Reserved. Its 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 a framework where it would be studied and heres 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 a long generation time, someone went to be over a 100 years old. And when they get over fish like they were back in the seventys, eightys fishermen here wanted to be proactive. They wanted to get out in front of the issue they drew the lines and they presented those boundaries to the state. And thats what led to red shocks. So theres 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 were tracking it. Weve found a perfect synergy between people who have a careers worth of knowledge about fish in the ocean. And weve connected them with the technology of a Research Institution like o, s u, that kind of negotiation is how you get to where youre trying to go. When youre trying to do conservation in a community thats dependent on resources, the abundant stocks are important. I mean, who wants to fish the last fish, the way of communities like port orford works 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. Its sold a snapper. People are willing to accept that there 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 outraged fraud is ramp in the industry. The same for the labeling in general has been found. Unfortunately to be full of miss labeling 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 test and they find that its not red snapper us solution to the fraud in seaford is better enforcement. Where somebody who was coming the by happened to be running dna test. They really wouldnt keep doing that. Who fishes matters. And you can actually know your fisherman, the we operate port orford, sustainable seafood, a Community Supported 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 couldnt 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 well go up again. So we can stay in business. This is where all the fish from alaska comes directly. This is about 50000 pounds at around 20, below. Transparency is without a doubt, a giant hurdle, and well see from the supply chain and a small operations with the right intentions growing scale. Its an issue that must be addressed. If youre trying to expand from a cell in your own fest directly and you want to grow your business for a lot of time, you were line and other entities to process your fast to ship your fresh to deliver your Fresh Companies that may not adhere to your values, at what point you have enough for sales, enough volume to like build the infrastructure to do everything yourself. Weve processed the fisher sounds, we deliver traceable fashion ourselves. We can make sure that was the piece is officially south, is the one that is on the name. Thats a beautiful thing and i want to keep that growing and keep, tell me the so this is a new cardiac municipal crane. This allows harbor 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 without having access to the waterfront with what this plan provides. Now you can have a little mom and pop processor thats, 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 roll stock packaging machine plus 1000 pounds in our we can run through here. This is on the year of our small boat slate, the opportunity to custom processes throughout the course of the year. I think well be hopefully 12 months of the year as long as theres 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 darias cash present in geography. She was like in the battle for access to the waterfront and fishing, ultimately determine whether its possible to make a living. We need to capitalize on value and get some adapters to issue the ive seen with these efforts. There is a back a, the success on the way the today an oil and 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 the end or 2. We also have several full time employees now they believe in one i believe in, and im having fun doing what im doing. The sink we got cooking and growing pretty well. Theyre in a really short time, and theres 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 you a day and having more flexibility to do our work. Im looking forward to this, this would be nice. We have a close to 3000. 00 followers on facebook. I never thought it wouldnt 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 were gonna 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 on a devise on system battle for me now is not in washington dc anymore. Its not in town. So meetings, its on my boat and end of businesses. We work with the, the future of small Scale Fishers and seen 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 stress. Folks in our fisheries and once again thrive with possibilities still exist among those who continue to fight theres Different Levels of challenge to whats 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 combinations of small Scale Fisheries and robust management thats 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 fist is a more complete understanding of the system, recognizing the importance of habitat and managing as if we are in the only predators that taking fish out of the building direct connections between fishermen and the public. Thats great for, for not ultimately shifting policies and its all for nothing. How can we leverage that network of people who care about where the sea food comes from so that were protecting Community Based fishermen who we believe are poised to be the best stewards of the ocean . Thats really ultimately what we need is, is going to be around for the long news. The of the, i dont think that i could ever, as a writer really capture the experience that is 1025 percent of your income. Roughly, theres someone thats at home probably enjoying retired and watching the wheel of fortune or murder. Shes 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 micro your t v show the misbehaving very of this film. 80 thats coming out soon and better be or is anyways, this little stab at the director the the, [000 00 00;00] the, the claims of the king of the belgians leopold the 2nd to the congo were finally authorized by the leading European Countries in 18. 85. In the very heart of the african continent, states under the rule of the belgian monarch was declared. Since the beginning, the congo free state was total, may him for the local population and functioned as a universal concentration can. The majority of the population, including women and children, were forced to work on the rubber plantations. Those who failed to fulfill their quota were beaten and mutilated. To keep the con, the least people under control, they king set up the so called forest bleak, which were punitive detachments that cast terror on the captured country. And its inhabitants, fearing that their subordinates would simply waste bullets hunting for wild animals. The officers demanded that the soldiers gave an answer for every bullet use, and as proof presented a job hand of an african, it was not uncommon when drying to justify the use of the munition. The colonists amputated the hands of not only those who were dead, but also loved those who were kept alive via atrocious exploit to sion of the congo turned into a real genocide. You know, late 20 years, the policy of the belgians laid to the death of nearly 10000000 people alongside the holocaust. The genocide of the congo population is considered to be one of the grimmest pages in the history of mankind. The hello and welcome across stock were all things are considered on funeral about as a cranes much over hyped counter offensive stalls. Western leaders have made a remarkable rhetorical pivot. Binary says poor has already lost the war. The secretary of state blinking says russia has lost their narrative is a form of pseudo reality because making the claim ukraine is winnie, is untenable. The to discuss these issues and more and joined by my guess martin j america. Shes an Award Winning journalist and commentator. And in budapest we brought the door to samuel 8. Hes a pod cast or at the gabble, which we thought on youtube and levels. Are gentlemen, costs up rules and effects, that means you can jump anytime you want that. I always appreciate it. All right, its good, george in budapest its, its really remarkable watching the course of this conflict and how the west has changed its rhetorical focus like narrative of every, every one once its a board you great of course is going to win a because it has um, the, the moral spirit, you know, the current job because of the ukrainian soldier in society. Oh, the responsible states have had
