Wont change jet that kind of thing. The station right, thats going to do it for me for now, but do stay with us. My colleague, nicky aaron is in next in about 30 minutes with much more news by the we start really slow just tearing up with 6 or 7 restaurants. Right now basically using my sedan here as our means of transportation which are very difficult. So were kind of hoping to get a nice refrigerated truck and start, you know, 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 middle man 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 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 thats who its coming from, having the relationships with the people its coming from. Thats what our menu reflects. Will 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 and 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 gratifying. One eggs over easy running yield on top, the toes. Medium, slightly running. In other words, you want it perfectly done again. Okay. Tell me 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 the nation since probably 1978 was my 1st year that i seriously pointed to it the way that we catch how that is. We catch them 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 sion. I think its actually better the so when i started off, you know, youre catching each fish individually. How can line and taken care of them and then just to sell them to a global commodity marketplace and felt kind of incomplete. They had this beautiful fish, and then it just disappears under this will pick 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 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, what uh, what are you looking for . What are you looking to do . Any kind of directory consumer and lavish business is really difficult and that the amount of capital it takes to get started just to have all the services the vision 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 aid and frozen and how as frozen is really important to and then once has frozen household, this is stay on. The sink is an incredible fishing for small mo, owner operators successfully. 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 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 communities across alaska work to find solutions by catch from industrial trawlers continues to threaten the halibut populations the hell of it, fishermen have taken Big Productions in their quota. They are in serving 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 halibut bycatch across 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 lider 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 by catch reduction. Youre now well aware of the status of the how of it stock and 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 how that killed us by costs and the varying see the people dependent 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 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 in 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 where the, the numbers are going. Privatize me, our systems corporate, which has happened to Small Businesses this. So you need to are responsible for pushing or how to support businesses. A lot of times i wish that shows didnt exist. I wish i didnt have to be a manager. Say how passionate you are by 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 visit the he had some of the i think so. Well i look a nice out, amanda. Theres other similar models out there that are doing the right thing and i wanted to be like we are the proof and the important 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 with bring them there is no talking all the 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, lets we can try ordering a new and thats why with them you think, you know, like being played with after coming up from 200 feet of water. One missing kid. Ok. That was a really good job. The or the the, the most recent news, munoz carlos. Imagine if you speak russian, keep your voice down while out and about. So were talking about the kinds of products for us, the dont put your human symbols on display, the decision space to guide. So you guys dont talk to strangers. 7 void, noisy gatherings in valleys, which was wonderful to me what, but she didnt rely on get them in and what actually these new colleagues and perhaps also your friends think youre guilty because your russian let you know the phone. So what can i do . Im, it was my, im see if its all a detail. Glad to which is the team that does the styles we did use be picked up by mutual be im a consumption to buy the specific store shortly concerning the the issue like a nice, quiet little town. This would be a great place to live. But there are problems like i was in a small town in poverty that are unfortunate not just as a small town in america. We absolutely import or perhaps talk 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 with the fish. Stocks 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 is serve as a place for the fish and go and those fish can reproduce. And we can keep a healthy fisheries. The best place is so amazing. This cluster of rocks right out here is red fish rocks, Marine Reserved. Its the Marine Reserve that our group of fishermen put forward. We wanted to integrate our exponential knowledge into choosing where it would be and then we installed a framework where it would be studied. And heres the Marine Reserve and 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 along generation time, someone would 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. If this goes into his 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 as 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 of the way of communities like port orford work 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 solve the snapper. People are willing to accept that their fishes mastery 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 do the error, but often the result of outrage, fraud is ramp in the industry. The same for the labeling in general has been found unfortunately to be full of mislabeled and a lot of it is intentional. Nestle, 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 tests and they find that its not red snapper us solution to the fraud in seaford is better enforcement where somebody who was coming into by happened to be running dna test, they really wouldnt keep doing that. Who fishes matters. And you can actually know your fishermen, the we operate port orford, sustainable c, food, a Community Supported fishery. We catch our fish. I sit down over night and lock in the fresh desk as fast as you can. Troubles were to pay more for the fish for fair trade price to create processing jobs, and to sell puerto efficient port offering. You couldnt buy local fish and efficient town and that felt fundamentally wrong if a chief of all of raising the price on fish, so the other buyers have come up to in 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. It around 20 below transparency is without a doubt a giant hurdle in the sea food supply chain. And a small operations with the right intentions grow and 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 lot of time, your live and other entities to process your fast to ship your fish to deliver your Fresh Companies that may not adhere to your values. And what point do you have enough sales enough volume to like build the infrastructure to do everything yourself. We process the fisher ourselves. We deliver traceable fashion ourselves. And we can make sure that what species officially south is the one that is on the name. Thats a beautiful thing, and i want to keep that growing and keep building the. 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 start up operations. So 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 the year of our small boat slate. The opportunity to custom process this throughout the course of the year, i think will 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 want to be partners in success with you guys. All the basics are here for sure. A new era for darias cash present in geography issues like in the battle for access to the waterfront, beneficent, ultimately determine whether its possible to make a living. We need to capitalize on dollars and get some adapters to issue the ive seen with these efforts. There is a back in the of success on the way the today. I know we want this longer is visit pretty crazy and our was changing the business for us. We bought a 2nd truck, a bigger truck, 2nd boat from then or 2. We also have several full time employees now i believe, and when i believe in, and im having fun doing what im doing, the sink, we got cooking when 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 a to and having more flexibility to do our work. Im looking forward to this, this will be nice. We have a close to 3000. 00 followers on facebook. I never thought it would 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. So im going to keep doing that. The, the systems are going, there are 2 choices make it work for us, or to fail. What the differences is making an example for all theres a ball that defies on system. The battle for me now is not in washington dc anymore. Its not some council meetings. Its on my boat and into businesses. We work with the, the future of small scale, fishers and seeing 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 threat. Hope that our fisheries will, once again thrive with possibilities still exist among those who continued theres Different Levels of challenge. And so whats going to make us work in the small beneficiaries providing that all the traceable market is absolutely key tags and bible 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 system is a more complete understanding of the system, recognizing the importance of habitat and managing as if we are in the only predators thats taking fish out of receipts, building direct connections between fishermen and the public. Thats great for the for not ultimately shifting policies and thats all for nothing. How can we leverage that network of people who care about where the seafood 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 run 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 retirement, watching 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.
