The Kodiak trawl fleet has been working hard to make sure it only catches the fish we're supposed to, to keep Alaska's oceans healthy! This video shows a collaborative project to develop a 'halibut excluder' - a device that lets halibut safely escape the net on purpose - developed jointly by marine scientists and the Kodiak fishing fleet. We only want to catch what the ocean can sustain for the future.
This type of collaborative work by fishing participants seems to get important results and should be supported by everyone who cares about sustainable fishing practices. Great job!
