We started really slow just tearing up with 6 or 7 restaurants right now basically using my savannah here as our means of transportation which can be difficult. So were kind of hoping to get a nice refrigerated truck that way you can start adding on more clients because theres 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 middleman and 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 at the counter trying to make it so that the both 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 like to use the word intelligently, a little more knowing where thats who is 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 we 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 to 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, thats been a huge part of our income and our way of life is how that ration 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 gratifying. One eggs over easy running yield on top, the top medium, slightly running. In other words, you want it perfectly done and then okay, the families i just bought to, 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 the the way the way that we catch of it is we catch them on whats called long lines and theyre basically 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 fish and i think its actually better the. So when i started off, you know, youre catching each fish individually, how come im in taken care of them and then just to sell them to a global commodity marketplace. I 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 and 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 aha moment out. Well, theres a better way where i can sell my fish directly. I can receive their price and people receiving the session, the midwest, getting an incredible product. The success of shares. Yeah. Uh of the 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 made 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 here. Last year when youre trying to produce perfect fish, every single step matters how the fisherman catches the fascist and blood right away as it showed 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 has frozen household, does it stay on the pacific is an incredible fishing for small mo, warner operators. As it gets late, its 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 theres a Consumer Base that really supports that. So i think that in the future well have more, more efficient and, you know, connecting directly with 2 peaks or fish, the small communities across alaska work to find solutions by catch from industrial trawlers continues to threaten the how of the population the hell of it, fishermen have taken Big Productions in their quota, they are conserving and you really cant have a healthy, sustainable resource unless all sectors, everybody involved, the sharing and conserving that resource. Wave fisheries are changing, its the way our country is changing. Its increasingly harder for Small Businesses to make the North PacificFishery Management Council is responsible for regulating how the bycatch across the last can fisheries. Today, the council is voting on limits for the industrial draft, the hello counsel. 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 as by kind of send the varying see to people depending on the how that resource are, the ones that are plummeting and were, were calling out to you. Those who are watching us fall are 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 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 of 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 this, you know, were trying to see the numbers are going to privatize make our decisions. Corporate which does have the Small Businesses that are so you need to are responsible for pushing or how to support businesses. A lot of times i wish that shares didnt exist. I wish i didnt have to meet your manager. You are the hopefully weve driven home the point to them that theres landlords in this space. Are you 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 go i thing and 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 the putting how you doing good. 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 the right. Lets bring them there fast, the prisoner of all the restaurant, police. Anyone else in the fall . I can get it done. You have this field yet 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 lets we can try what were going to do with them and we cant play with them. You think youre like being played with after coming up from 200 feet of water. One missing kid. Ok. That was a really good job the the with the discovery of the new world, at the end of the 15 center, there appeared atlantics laved re. The slave traders from European Countries started building fords on the western coast of the african continent to transport the african inhabitants to america, to be forced into a hard labor. Until the middle of the 17th century portugal headlight, the main role india said process business. Been great britain, france, and the netherlands took the leadership for this fan of 400 years of legal and illegal slave trade. About 17000000 people were forcefully shipped across the atlantic. Not including those who died on the way due to unbearable living conditions. Modern historians estimate that for each slave ship to america, there were 5 who died while captured during transportation, and cruel obliteration of rebellion. This roof was visible tre. Practice by the leading European Countries, took away tens of millions of african lines. The organization of United Nations class advised the trans atlantics to laved rate as one of the greatest human rights abuses in the history of humanity. This is the biggest act of deep orientation of people ever seen by mankind. The the if you 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 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 fish and go and goes fish can reproduce, and we can keep a healthy fishery. 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 exponential knowledge engine choosing where it would be. And then we installed the framework where it would be studied and heres the Marine Reserve being protected area. And each of these dots is a place where i tagged to 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 line 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. After tagging the fish goes into this cage. When we get down to say 4050 feet door pops open, fish twins away, and now were tracking it. Weve found a perfect synergy between people who have 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 and shop the are in cost. Its sold a snapper. People are willing to accept that their fish as 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 on the result of outraged fraud is ramp in the industry. The safe with labeling in general has been found unfortunately to be full of mislabeled and a lot of it is intentional. Mislaid was 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 i find that its not red snapper us solution to the fraud in seaford is better enforcement where somebody who was coming in to by having to be running dna tests, they really wouldnt 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 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 best from alaska comes directly. This is about 50000 pounds. At around 20, below transparency is without a doubt a julian hurdle. And me 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 selling your own fish directly and you want to grow your business for a long time, your line and other entities to process your fast to ship your fresh to deliver your Fresh Companies that may not adhere to your values and what point you have enough sales enough volume to like build the infrastructure to do everything yourself. Weve processed the fisher sounds, we deliver traceable fashion ourselves. And we can make sure that was pieces officially, ssl is the one that is on the name. Thats a beautiful thing, and i want to keep that growing and keep telling me the so this is a new kodiak municipal crane. This allows harbor users independent access to the waterfront without having to go through a Large Industrial processor. Weve been fighting 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, 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 role stock packaging machine plus 1000 pounds in our we can run through here. This is the year of our small boat slate. The opportunity to custom process this 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 the battle for access to the waterfront, beneficent. Ultimately determine whether its possible to make aware we need to capitalize on value and get some adapters to issue the ive seen with these efforts. There is a back. Any success on the way the today. I know it well, fish longer is visit pretty crazy and our lot has changed in 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 of all the defies and system battle for me now its not in washington dc anymore. Its not some council 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 dread. Folks in our fisheries, we once again thrive with possibilities, still exist among those who continued theres Different Levels of challenge to watch them and make us work in the small mo fisheries. Providing that all the traceable market is absolutely key to our survival. At this point. The combination 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 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 ecosystem. Recognizing the importance of habitat and managing as if we are in the only predator thats taking fish out of the seat. 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. It is going to be around for the long news 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 real fortune or murder. Shes such shrewd, shrewd points about the way in which the sea food world fits together in the middle are squared in the middle is got a lot of steam, monica, your t for seeing tv show is behaving very upset. This film cd thats coming out soon. And better media anyways, this little stab at the director there the since 2016. Numerous monuments to soviet soldiers and poland, ukraine and the Baltic States have been destroyed all vandalized fish their stuff, but it must be the full certainly within. Yeah. Unless or even some others could i ask if i dont think so thats the most on whether its expressed room. What is the Police Government denies . The rule of soviet sonya is in the victory of a nonce ism, and is it raising historical memories of world war 2 is the 40 because when you stood there, although it did seem the non c regimes, the trustees would remain think since people is coming justice but have a but as long as the rest of the is profitable and brings dividends, you are willing to have a to rewrite the cost. Yes, it is done. Sync up the ill provides i need to see things because it looks like so i need to be introduced to blame the present them to chrome. So hes, hes with boy and hes on the box of the troops from nice. Yes. And a complete with this and of his previous decision, which is the 3rd page, the west african countries, new governments will never recognize costs of us independence. Forget about that savvy as president , save costs of what were trying to drive his country into a potential with nato for the shoot thompson, which cost of the police say they killed 3. 00 picks up and one of the weeks top stories they see spot is a great off to a spike in violence and then youre going to kind of a back legion thats off the as applied john lowest when it cools Anti Terrorist measures against on median positions
