In the air. So i like to take him for a ride to say the apple doesnt fall far from the jury. Your hold of 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 live. Tim rider is one of the few jig, both fishermen remained back. Then we go on the people of the same opportunity to experience fishing the way i did. And thats the saddest thing about this industry. Were bickering and arguing over microphones. You know, like Council Meetings are in the press for 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 dont see that thats not in their pie charts and their flow charts and their circle graphs and the scientists and their science. But i do the, the, the, the, the small coastal fishing communities. Do we even need the small mom and pop 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 fish is 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 was that 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. The system is so tilted in favor of industrial fishing that even the 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 fruits, and were seeing the squeeze and displacement of family fishermen. And were 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, political 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. Were looking at a shift in coastal america, like we have never seen the i started in 1983 fishing with my father on the on that side on the south end. Or is that much my childhood . Thats all exactly the same as a kid does. When he goes out in the lake, in the canoe and his vision for a pan fish with a rod and reel, is that kind of a feeling the school right there . The jeep goes fishing is one of the most sustainable methods of catching fish and its impact on Ocean Ecosystems is a fraction of that, if its Industrial Town or more, but its quickly becoming lost. Our various casper sac is one of the few jig fishermen west and cody technician is one of the older, especially if not the oldest vision in the world. That is essence. Its a line flowing out in the water with a couple of, of some very selective. You get over a school and if its not the right fish, then you can quickly move you know, a lot of is just timing the tides. Right. And, and the winds see the fish in there were underneath the score rates it up a little bit. The of the printer, dusty rock this, the over 95 percent the rockfish coming out of alaska is all troll gone. That means its called a large snaps 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, tearing out for catching a lot of rockfish at once for as well as other spaces trying when its done in its worst form, has a leveling effect. And it has a tendency to really just sort of strip away everything thats there, the carls and find it, 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 reached a critical level in International Waters in the late eightys with the use of a new generation of unimaginably long. Thats 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 millions of birds, dolphins, wales, turtles. They caught everything. Thats why, by the ninetys, 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 in newspapers all around the world. The United Nations did finally ban those things from that fishing became a conservation, an issue not just of allocation issue. The guy liked him right. Glasses and they were running 80 miles to be able to catch a fish. And a 30 foot fault, of course, in so many a night. So i went home wondering if this guy was coming back. These young guys, you know, the time is getting officially is gone, then pushed out and pushed out. Hes one of the few guys as i see puts in the extra effort he just loves it. And im glad hes kind of big about the votes here and built from scratch. One piece you know, from a mold all the way to the finished product. The next step, once its 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 cost to me around 500. 00 on a good day. He might land a few 1000. 00 worth of fish, but thats before he pays a screw. On a bad day. He might not even cover his expense. The, theres so many times of life for you, people dont believe in what theyre doing or they just go through the motions. Im passionate about when i do, im proud with the fact that we have a minimal footprint where we go. I know if i hit the powerball for 40000000. 00 or a 1000000. 00 or whatever it is, i do exact same thing im doing right now. Tomorrow. 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 and fisheries was established. Until then phishers 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 a colt. Im basically a fan of catch shares in a certain configuration which is the person who fishes owns a share of the allowed catch. They dont own share the fish in the ocean, but when the catch limit is set, they own a share of that catch. What im 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. Thats not an improvement on anything. I mean for a 36. 00 foot boat that employees will 2 or 3 people in the sun and then a couple of guys on shore run and fish around. You can save your 25 percent hit on your problem. I dont really either break even losing money, businesses like tens, he has to pay a landlord essentially for those fish. Fishermen dont need landlords. They need to be able to go fishing for me and another fisherman. And i know for leasing out the flanders, hes getting roughly what 75000. 00 a year. Thats pretty good. Anyone at home is making money and a lot of it, it has nothing to do with the business. Sucks. The cashiers for timing campbell, some people did become fantastic stewards of, of those resources. But unfortunately, a lot of people just became landlords and they started running 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 and were looking at a wal mart situation on the ocean. Why dont you just give us the names of the 5 or 7 guys, especially all of this market. It is going into private hands. And i think over time, the next logical inheritors of this resource are going to be corporations. For those who are are fed up, weve had enough with policies designed to consolidate policies designed to privatize, designed to squeeze out are independent fishermen to join me and walking out. Were going to walk in and tell the public and sign of life. And whats been happening is they voted today to allow for 7 entities to control this whole fishery. That type of consolidation, that type of concentration of ownership. Its kurtz, our 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 is a work. And theres a select few people at the top that are making all of money. And theyre making the rules and benefit themselves the the we are in the darkest, on one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse regions on the entire planet. As you make your way through the start, you will discover each region is known for its own unique arts and traditions. The privatization came about for how that at that point i was only in my mid twenties. I didnt 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 its a good thing. I didnt know a year 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 code. Yeah. 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 become consolidated the afternoon. And various caspar that a local fisherman home where doubted kodiak, im also a president of the alaska jake association, who im representing today. We do not support any new Management Program in the gulf of alaska trial sector, which monetize us the fishery resources. 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. Its one of the very few. Dolly ports they call them where youre both stay on trailers and youre actually lifted in by crane into the open ocean. The. This is how we do it. Its pretty intense. One of the most unique things about port orford is were restricted in both size. 40 feet and under 50 ton and under everybody has different opinions and theyre independent of course. But because we have so much in common, what benefits me benefits my brother the because 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 doesnt really take into account the needs of a small community. So this is why i bought this as 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 its not out of the question. The Community Port offered pretty unique populations. 1200 between the Timber Industry and fishing. Its what its all 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 the light fixture and we all use the same type of gear. It prevents us all from growing into the other sectors of drawl as to talking 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 dont 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 a 3 year goal in years permits do leave out of 4, offered its less revenue for the whole town. Every facet of business in this town is affected solely by our fishing. We land between 4. 00 and 5000000. 00 worth of seafood here in port offered the. I mean its 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. Were right here. I mean, were 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 fisher declining halibut stocks has meant that native fisheries have had to reduce their cash in the interest of maintaining the fish population right now i have probably 3 strings, im a little, im a little frustrated, right . Things out the weve 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 read has been operating in the bearing see right and simians, backyard, us catch shares of halibut and alaska are limited to hooked and lines fixtures. So when these trawlers accidentally catch how the wind fishing for other species, theyre forced to throw the fish back 5 and theyre usually dead. These unintentionally cause fish are known as by couch. There should be no way we should be shut down because we look right here that everybody else comes out of wherever they come from in america is going to be able to come up here and dish. No, right. The see, the bycatch is accounting for almost all of whats available to be taken of the halibut stock. These are industrial, but its are distant water boats to fully prosecute their history and the most economical way to go out there, set their nets, do on toes and just drove inside what they are allowed to keep the costs to them of during those how better over the size just costs doing business. Thanks for common. Say one of the really great things about this bike, how tissue is it unites groups, cuz its really important to everybody, the cares about the how that resource linda bank. And the fisher herself is the director of the alaska long lines fishermens association. In the early ninetys, she lived the 5 in which local communities successfully band trolling in Southeast Alaska. You had stuff in here, fisherman prowl ocean weaving waste in wake despite hunger. Hows that for a 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 rakfish and the black had 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. Thats a big part of our concern. In the early ninetys, 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 ill 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 emotion packed 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 MarineFisheries 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 council would do the right thing. It took another 5 years before they took 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. It was a 4 surface gets lost in the shuffle where up, you know, again, its a 100000 pounds of fish. Quality doesnt matter. Ive been told that by 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 food system that processes and preserve massive amounts of food for consumers. Thats included in today. Theres an intricate International Supply chain. Why this was cheap, so what the costs to the oceans, the fish, the small scale fissures and the consumer or staggering. Theres 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 cleaning up a fish, but why it keeps the flash nice and clean. Thanks a lot. Higher quality product prior to going out on the fend lander, i was doing, were creating a mobile app, trying to connect people with local c food options. And during that time working on their product and realize there needed to be more options and it coincided perfectly with meeting 10 and session on about the this is not typical in the industry where the captain does a lot of delivering. And 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 important sea food, were kind of moving that new fish mongers, our ideas directly selling fish throughout new englands kind of re establish what new England Seafood really is. We want to have the ability to have a fish on our customers plate. There was swimming around 10 hours ago, which we can do cod sustainably. The direct market approach has this difference here. Were going to walk in with a box of fish off the boat. Were not going to have suit and tie and fancy delivery chines. The look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. A robot must obey the orders given by human beings accept. Were so shorter to conflict with the 1st law show alignment of the patient. We should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to make a trust rather than to the various things with artificial intelligence. We have somebody with him in the most, protects his phone existence with alexis and rick sanchez. And im here to plan with you. Whatever you do. Do not watch my new show seriously. Why watch something thats so different whitelisted opinions that he wont get anywhere else. Welcome to please or do have the state department to see i a weapons bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. Choose your facts for you. Go ahead. Change and whatever you do. Dont want my show stay main street because im probably going to make you uncomfortable. My show is called stretching time, but again, its not, we dont want to watch it because it might just change the way you the, the at least one russian soldiers missing after ukraine launch is a strike on the black sea fleets headquarters.
