    it is so important people understand this

  • Alaskan fisheries are internationally recognized as being the most well-managed in the world. If you're interested in reading about what scientists believe - and the regulations that govern wild Alaskan fisheries - Google the keywords below. Alaskan fishing is sustainable and always will be.

  • this is some bullshit

  • Saw this for my science class, so sad. 

  • Don't worry too much, the fuel will run out soon. No engines, no freezers, no problem. The sea will be full of fish again and a man will be able to fish for a living without a million dollar bank loan.

  • USA data, by its own admission, on fishy populations is VERY faulty. MOST important food fish populations in the USA are way up...again even by USA admission. Here it is again...taking rights from the ordinary man and giving those rights to the wealthy ...through the USA govt who pretends they are trying to defend us. WAKE UP AMERICANS! DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE! the US Govt is PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER 1.

  • A MUCH DEEPER PROBLEM IS OUR NATIONAL DEBT!

  • CCA, raise mesh size by one inch. Reduce bycatch from 98% to 2%. Fisherman are at your demise, begging for change, for nature, for the benefit of fish and family. Why can't people see this? Why can't fisherman use sustainable techniques? Why can't i use a hook and line? Sustainable= a bs scenario implemented to accuse all fisherman of this injustice while benefitting those whom wish to bring commercial fishing into extinction. MESSAGE ME!

  • Fishermen in FL, USA are demanding and begging for an increase in mesh size to drastically reduce bycatch by over 96%. They are continued to be denied. The ocean and its inhabitants are the least of concern to personal interest and agenda. Why is it small time family fishermen recieve the brunt of the punishment? Look towards laws implemented towards the fisherman.
