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 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 your from top to, to medium, slightly running. In other words, you want it perfectly done and then, okay, tell me this busted to your my dad is a super jolly guy. Hes kind of like buddha, like hes taught me that 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, the way that we catch of it 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 the quality standards for sea food is change. People demand a Higher Quality fish. My son marsh, started out as a young boy session with me and i think he had higher standards, right from the beginning. He has a new way of training session. 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. We had this beautiful fish, and then it just disappears under this will take Global Supply chain, the 20th 11. I saw on some fish to my friend who did a little mine 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. Who is like an ah ha moment as well. Theres a better way where i can sell my fish directly. I can receive a fair price and people receiving the session, the midwest, getting an incredible product the same as yours. Yeah. Uh what, uh, what are you looking for . What are you looking to do . Any kind of directory, consumer fish 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 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 or last year when youre trying to produce perfect fish, every single step matters how the fisherman catches the fashions and blood right away. Is that showing right away how long it see they spend . And then how quickly is that fish for late in frozen, and how as frozen is really important to and then once its frozen household, does it stay on the punching the pacific is an incredible fishing for small mo, motor operators. That gets flight. 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 a quality. Theres a growing move. Many 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, you know, connecting directly with 2 peaks or fish. The small boat communities across alaska work to find solutions by couch from industrial trawlers continues to threaten the how with 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 it more specific. Fishery management cancels responsible for regulating how big bycatch across the last can fisheries. Today, the council is voting on limits for the industrial tresley, 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 how that killed as 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. Those who are watching us fall are either enjoying the view or missing the fact that were but it hits the bottom the 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 in 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 say this, you know, were trying to see the numbers are going down. Privatized, make our fissions corporate. Lets just have the Small Businesses that we need to are we are responsible for pushing or how to support businesses. A lot of times i wish catches didnt exist. I wish i didnt have to be her 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 collecting a check. Well, hes not vision the he had some of the i think so. Well i took a nice out amanda. Theres other similar models out there that are doing the right thing. And i want to be like we are the prove an important how you doing good. We didnt know 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 can get it done. You have this all. 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 wondering a new and play with them. You think you like being played with after coming up from 200 feet of water . One missing kid. Okay, that was a really good job. The the, the, the russian states. Never as tight as on one of the most sense Community Best english. All sense of the, in the 65 and this must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on the rush of funding and supports the r t supposed neg keeping our video agency roughly, all the band on youtube tv services for the question, did you say steven twist, which is the, the issue like a nice, quiet little town. This would be a great place to live. But there are problems in 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 in fishing so that we can keep the infrastructure. We have an economy that we have for our 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 fishing go and those fish can reproduce and we can keep healthy fisheries. This place is so amazing. This cluster of rocks right out here a yes. Read fish rocks Marine Reserve. Its the Marine Reserve that our group of fishermen put forward. We wanted to integrate our experiential knowledge engine choosing where it would be. And then we installed the framework where it would be studied. Heres the Marine Reserve 3 and 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 1st 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 work to find the balance between fishing and conservation. Deceptive labeling has become the latest industry. We have 74. 00 different species of rock this off the origin cost. Its solve the snapper. People are willing to accept that their fish has 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 our white fraud is ramp in the industry. The safe with labeling in general has been found unfortunately to be full of miss labeling. 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 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 seafood, Community Supported fishery. We catch our fish. I sit down over night and lock in the fresh desk as fast as you can troubles for 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 with a 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. The best at around 20, below the 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 line and other entities to process your fast to ship your fish to deliver your efficient 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 process the fisher ourselves. We deliver traceable fashion ourselves. We can make sure that west peace is 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 the new kodiak municipal crane. This allows harper 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, 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 yeah. Our small boat slate, the opportunity to custom pro processes 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 went to the partners in success with you guys. All the basics are here for sure. A new era for darias cast, presenting in geography. She was like in the battle for access to the waterfront and fishing, ultimately determine whether its possible to make aware we need to capitalize on dollars and get some of that just issue the ive seen with these efforts. There is a back in the success on the way the today annually one fish longer is visit. Pretty crazy. In our was change 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 only 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 arent going anywhere. So i have 2 choices make it work for us, or to fail. What the difference is is making an example for all theres a ball that defies that system. The battle for me now is not in washington dc anymore. Its not in council meetings. Its on my boat and into 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 threat. Hope that our fisheries will, 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 cars environment. 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 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 and the only predators that taking fish out of the sea 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 run. The or 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. Got a lot of steam, monica, your t for sale, tv show, misbehaving. Very upset. This film cd thats coming out soon and better be or anyways, this little stab as a director there. The high acceptance. And im going to plan with you whatever you do.
