SIMRAD SN90 TRAWLING SONAR. THE ULTIMATE TOOL FOR ANY TRAWLER! The SN90 sonar is a high resolution forward looking sonar for detailed inspection of salt & pepper or fish close to the bottom. Use three inspection beams to determine density (biomass) of fish in any direction. A 160° horizontal swath, a full vertical slice (70°) as well as three pencil sharp (6° X 6 °) inspection split beams can be individually trained and tilted to the users’ need. The SN90 is a full chirp wideband sonar transmitting and receiving between 70-110 kHz.

The picture on the left is taken from Alaska Pollock fishery. Three beams are used to inspect in three directions showing a detailed echogram of Pollock and plankton in front of the vessel.

This picture shows the SN90 installed in the bulb looking forward. This installation is perfect for bottom trawlers as well as pelagic trawlers. The beams can be tilted all the way down to 90° from surface. No hull unit or protruding transducers.

New year, new season

n my mind, we turn the dial on the new year when the frst green shoots of spring poke through the dry, brown leaves of last autumn’s shed, the food waters rush through creeks, streams and rivers to the ocean, and the sun climbs high enough in the sky to cast a short shadow at midday. I’m happy to say that it feels like 2016, ofcially. Like bears from the den, spring wakes many of us from sleepy winter habits and inspires a rush of energy that is biologically reinforced to carry us through a busy harvest season. In fshing villages across the country, the seeds of summer fshing are planted with crews sweating and cussing in the boatyards. The season buds as JESSICA HATHAWAY communities gather in honor at feet blessings and Editor in chief frst fsh celebrations. It blooms into tearful and yet hopeful family trips to the dock to witness the casting of of lines and another year of intermittent communications between friends and family at sea and those who stay ashore, waiting for the call that will bring them back to the dock. Technology makes it easier to feel connected, but the tradition of going and returning stays the same, just like the salmon runs that send so many fsh hunters far afeld, chasing the tides. You fock to the rivers and bays ahead of your prize, churning up the waters that will soon froth with the toil of the harvest. Whether you travel from California, Seattle or down an unmarked, unpainted road to reach your home for the season, I wish you safe passage and steady returns.

Chairman sides with Pebble, scolds EPA in D.C. hearing

ccording to Rep. Lamar Smith (RTexas), Chairman of the House Science and Technology Committee, Environmental Protection Agency employees were assisting Pebble Mine opponents while blocking the project. Pebble Limited Partnership has accused the agency of colluding with mine opponents, specifcally retired scientist Phil North who worked on the Bristol Bay watershed assessment that would shut down Pebble’s plans. North disappeared on an out-of-country trip with his family and was unavailable until recently when he returned to give testimony. North admitted to editing an ofcial petition letter from an opponent of the

conclude that EPA employees violated ethical standards.” EPA has ofcially denied accusations of a preemptive veto of the project, but has noted the unethical behavior. The hearing has rubbed some Alaskans the wrong way. “Why is a House Science Committee without a single member from Alaska so fxated on something we live and breathe every day, and so oblivious to how strongly we feel as Alaskans?” wrote Bristol Bay fsherman Everett Thompson in a Hufngton Post blog.

War over GE salmon moves battle to the courtroom

n January, the Food and Drug Administration formally announced an import alert on genetically engineered salmon, meaning Frankenfsh wouldn’t be allowed into interstate commerce. While that action was a battle won for opponents of AquaBounty Technologies’ AquAvantage salmon, they didn’t stop there. The FDA is now facing a lawsuit over its decision to approve GE salmon as ft for human consumption back in November at the hands of a collation of environmental organizations. The plaintifs, which consist of organizations like the Center for Food Safety, Food and Water Watch, and Friends of the Earth, say the agency failed to consider all of the environmental risks when

Calif. Dungeness crabbers fnally get the green light

West Coast sardines shut down for a second year

fter keeping their boats tied up at the docks for 4 1/2 months and waiting for the high levels of the neurotoxin domoic acid to subside, California Dungeness crab fshermen fnally got back to business on March 26. To celebrate the opener, Dungie fshermen threw a party at Fishermen’s Wharf in San Francisco that included a serious fresh crab spread. The event drew the city’s mayor, Ed Less, as well as members of the state Legislature. Many voted to turn the event into an annual tradition. The closures afected thousands of fshermen on the West Coast who depend on the season for their livelihood. Lori French, the wife of a Dungeness crab and salmon fsherman and the founder of Faces of California fshing in Morro Bay, Calif., helped start up a GoFundMe account for donations to a crabbers’ emergency fund. The campaign, run through Central Coast Women for Fisheries, raised more than $11,000 from small businesses and individuals. That money was used to send gift cards for groceries to fshermen. “Without all this help, a bad situation would have been much worse,” she said.

he Pacifc Fishery Management council closed all sardine fshing of the West Coast for the second year in a row, citing population estimates that have fallen below requirement. According to federal surveys, there are fewer than 65,000 metric tons of adult sardines in the ocean, and rules require fshing to stop after the numbers hit 150,000 metric tons. The population problem has been linked to a couple of diferent factors, including the natural boom and bust nature of sardines as well as the warmwater “blob” that’s plagued the Pacifc. Michael Milstein, a NMFS spokesman, has said that early eforts might mean the fshery opens up sooner. “There are some indications that large numbers of sardines did spawn successfully last year,” Milstein said when the closure was announced in midApril. “But we won’t know what diference that makes until those juvenile fsh survive for a few more years.”

they announced the approval, ignoring input from fsheries and wildlife professionals. “FDA’s action threatens and disrespects the wild salmon ecosystems, cultures and industries that are treasured here in the Pacifc Northwest and Alaska,” said Gabriel Scott, Alaska legal director for the grassroots conservation group Cascadia Wildlands. The lawsuit cites the risk of escapement and potential efects on wild populations. In April, Senator Lisa Sen. Lisa Murkowski Murkowski (R-Alaska) hosted an expert panel discussion on the issue as a part of her continued eforts to stop GE salmon sales. “It’s incredibly important that we gain a greater fact-based understanding of what we are dealing with when it comes to genetically engineered salmon. To me, this is inconceivable to make something as biologically perfect as wild Alaskan salmon and conduct a science experiment — creating a new species that can endanger our healthy fsh stocks,” she said.

Prowler Fisheries announced that it has reached a combined management agreement with Seattle-based Blue North Fisheries. The combining of management resources is expected to optimize day-to-day operations for both companies. Under the agreement, Blue North Fisheries will manage Prowler Fisheries’ fve hook-andProwler Fisheries’ catcherline catcher processors operating in the Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska. processor Bering Prowler. These vessels include the Arctic Prowler, Prowler, Ocean Prowler, Bering Prowler and Gulf Prowler. Prowler Fisheries will also close its Seattle offce of Alaska Longline Co., the operation that currently manages its Prowler vessels. Many of the current Alaska Longline Co. employees will be retained by Blue North. “This relationship represents a big step in operational innovation in our industry. As seafood continues to grow in popularity, so too does our responsibility to identify, and implement, process improvements when and where we can,” said Kenny Down, president and CEO of Blue North.

• The United Fishermen of Alaska announced changes to its executive committee in April.

On the UFA executive committee, Megan O’Neil of Petersburg Vessel Owners Association replaces Kathy Hansen as statewide chairwoman. Hansen will continue to serve on the committee, replacing Ian Pitzman of UCIDA in the at-large executive committee seat. Megan was UFA’s PR and membership committee chairwoman. Bob Thorstenson of Southeast Alaska Seiners rejoins the executive committee as PR and membership chair. Zach Hill joins as co-chairman of the administrative com-

mittee, serving along with Bob Kehoe. Longtime executive committee member Duncan Fields is stepping down as administrative co-chairman after 14 years of continuous service. UFA ofcers remain unchanged as Jerry McCune will continue to serve as president, joined by Matt Alward as vice president and Chad See as secretary. The group continues to operate without an executive director following Julianne Curry’s exit at the end of 2015. • The Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association announced its election results for the three expiring seats on its board.

The updates maintain the “avoid” status for all crab fsheries in the Russian portion of the Bering Sea, the Sea of Okhotsk and the Northern Sea of Japan. These “avoid” listings refect the fact that stocks are at critically low levels as a result of rampant illegal fshing and highly inefective management.

The new business will continue to use the Naknek Family Fisheries brand. The fund’s

investment dollars will be used to upgrade the fsh plant facility, build an employee bunkhouse and provide operational capital. Naknek Family Fisheries supports six generations of Alaska Native family fshermen and employs up to 15 people during peak processing season, with an emphasis on local and shareholder hire. • The Aleutian Pribilof Island Community Development Association announced that Grant Mirick has been hired to lead all of the association’s seafood operations.

Mirick has extensive experience in the fshing industry in Alaska and Washington, in addition to a background in sales and value added product development in China, Japan a n d Thailand. The Aleutian association is one of six Western Alaska Community Development Quota Corporations and allocates a percentage of all Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands quotas for groundfsh, halibut and crab to eligible CDQ groups.

of bare wood by the assault of wind and waves. The wind steadily increased through Wright Sound and the southern portion of Grenville Channel. Weather reports characterized the storm as a particularly intense system and advised mariners to take great caution. We took the hint and pulled into Lowe Inlet, of Grenville Channel, where we dropped anchor, hoping that the blow would moderate before setting out to cross Dixon Entrance. Throughout that evening and early morning, the storm delivered the complete menu: violent gusts, thunder and lightning and intense barrages of hail. By 3 a.m. it appeared the worst of the weather had passed, although the Lucy Island station report was continuing to announce gusts of 70 knots. We pulled anchor and reached Chatham Sound six hours later.The wind had dropped to 20 knots. By appearances our window to the Panhandle across Dixon Entrance was wide open. Passing Lord Rock we checked out of the vessel trafc system with which we had been in radio contact throughout the Canadian portion of the journey. The Canadian V.T.S. is a vessel management system intended to provide for the safe movement of shipping and the protection of the environment. Jim Naylor, a watch supervisor for the system, noted that participation is now mandatory for vessels 65 feet and over. He added there are provisions to fne noncomplying vessels — although to date no fnes had been levied. Naylor mentioned that V.T.S. ofcials were surprised by the volume of Alaska-bound fshing vessels reporting when the trafc system became mandatory approximately three years ago. In response, several options to simplify reporting have been discussed by V.T.S. ofcials. Among them is a proposal to designate one vessel in a group to fle reports on behalf of the group travelling together. Passing Ketchikan, we overheard a radio conversation that nearly took the moderating wind right out of our sails. An injunction had been

fled with the state of Alaska aimed at stopping the Southeast sac-roe herring fsheries. The news took us by surprise. It was unsettling to think we’d made the journey for drill. I found out that a group calling itself the Herring Coalition had fled the injunction. Andy Rauwolf, the coalition’s president and a Ketchikan resident, said that the citizens’ movement had been building since 1985, ofcially forming the Herring Coalition in February 1993.

66’ SHALLOW DRAFT TENDER

According to Rauwolf, the coalition has ADF&G statistics that show Southeast herring stocks in a state of decline. The coalition feels that a herring conservation emergency exists and wants an enhancement policy developed to rebuild depleted herring stocks. Such a policy would surely create a more conservative roe herring fshery. Overfshing is a primary concern of the coalition. Rauwolf cites the decline of the

FEATURES / FROM Southeast inside king salmon troll fshery as one example of the detrimental efect of depleted herring stocks. Nevertheless, Doug Mecham, Southeast Alaska regional management coordinator for the ADF&G, attributes the decline to troll feet fshing patterns. Mecham claimed that Southeast king stocks are healthier today than they were 10 years ago. Rauwolf cites the collapse of the Auke Bay herring biomass as another example of herring stock depletion. Mecham doesn’t argue the decline; however, he’s not willing to blame management policy and overfshing as reasons for the Auke Bay collapse. Mecham points instead to shoreline development, large numbers of vessels and sewage as possible causes of the Auke Bay herring decline. The Kah Shakes herring biomass has dramatically decreased in recent years, causing alarm among Herring Coalition members who again blame overfshing and myopic management. Mecham, however, believes that the core of

JUNE 1993 the Cat Island biomass — the stock the Kah Shakes feet presently fshes on — is primarily of Kah Shakes and Annette Island origin — herring that for reasons unknown have migrated to Cat Island to spawn. While Mecham admits that Southeast herring stocks never fully recovered from the herring reduction fshery earlier this century, he is frm in his stand that the remaining stocks are managed conservatively. He says that fuctuations in herring stocks can be attributed to a multitude of environmental causes including hatch conditions, ocean temperatures and predation. Given favorable conditions, he adds, those stocks can increase three-, four- or even fve-fold in one generation. Obviously, the Herring Coalition disagrees. Injunction threats notwithstanding, our momentum carried us through Tongass Narrows. We discovered in Wrangell that Sitka had been placed on a two-hour notice efective the following day, March 26. We had time to

change oil and little else upon our arrival in Sitka. The industry meeting the morning of the 27th revealed test set results favorable enough to begin fshing that day. An opening was set for 2 p.m. in an area north of the O’Connell Bridge to Lisianski Point light. Bob De Jong of ADF&G issued a stern warning that absolutely no release of stressed or dead herring would be tolerated, and that fshermen needed to be sure that they wanted the herring before hauling gear. If Fish & Game discovered even one boat releasing stressed herring, he cautioned, they would consider shutting the fshery down. A “processor-paced” fshery was agreed upon by all parties involved so as not to overwhelm the ability of the buyers to process their share of the 9,700ton harvest — one of the largest quotas in history. The fshery went on for eight days. March 27, 28 and 29 saw approximately 5,000 tons taken between the bridge and Lisianski Light. Approximately 2,200 tons were caught March

30 through April 1 south of the bridge. Fish & Game hadn’t ofcially tallied fsh tickets at this writing, but they estimated that 9,750 tons of herring had been taken with a roe percentage of approximately 10.5 percent. When asked about the processor paced fshery, Doug Mecham of ADF&G said that it went “exceptionally well.” He added that fsherman/processor cooperation was good and he felt the fshery was well-managed. Ted Prindle, assistant feet manager of Petersburg Fisheries, said, “Given the large quota and the processors’ abilities to handle that volume, it was the only method of running the fshery.” Other fshermen commented that the slow-paced style worked well and was instrumental in maintaining good fsh quality. One fsherman said that he couldn’t see where the fshery could have been better. Wrangell Fisheries and Annette Island Packing Co. had designated the Beryl E to run a load of herring south to Seattle. On the second day of the fshery we got our load and left the sound by 2 p.m. It was anticlimactic, really. We had expected to spend days waiting for the herring to mature. Babysitting the fsh aboard for fve days kept us from becoming complacent. We scrambled to rescue herring that were forced between the hatch combing and cover while fushing the hold. We washed the decks clean of the foam that appeared when the circulation system sucked air. On several occasions the Beryl E’s main deck looked like a detergent commercial gone awry. Fortunately, the problem only occurred when we rolled severely and lost some hold water exposing the upper suction lines. Multiple trips to the engine room to check on the refrigeration system completed our herring tending duties. We arrived at Seattle early in the morning and meandered up the Duwamish River to the unloading dock. During the frst cycle the fsh pump fell over onto the pier, beginning another long day. But overall, it had been a brief, incident free journey to Sitka and back. The herring arrived in good condition, and we actually had some pretty fair weather along the home stretch. We couldn’t really have asked for more.

RACOR FILTER GAUGE

T-HANDLE GAUGE for RACOR 500 / 900 / 1000 populations in the Asian Aleutians (Komandorskiye Is.) as well. The Gulf of Alaska has several known small populations, and harvestable amounts have been worked west of the Pribilofs on the hard bottom of the continental shelf. All these areas have one thing in common — extremely hard bottom. Fishing this kind of turf is like towing on top of underwater volcanoes, with the addition of lots of coral. The crew has no joy for this particular type of fshing, but being professional trawlermen, they also know that the mackerel grounds are where they get to show their stuf. To begin with, mackerel can be caught extremely fast. Coupled with the fact that they have no swim bladders, so there is little indication of “mackerel sign” on our fsh sounding equipment. Most fully equipped trawlers are outftted with an amazing array of electronics to pinpoint and illuminate fsh sign at both distance and depth, and for most species of fsh, spotting them means they’re in the codend. But for mackerel fshing, one’s electronics become little more than glorifed depth sounders. The one piece of gear that the skipper relies on most when mackerel fshing is his catch indicator. The major job on the trawl deck is adjusting and placing the catch indicator “eggs,” which ride on the top front portion of the codend and work by an expansion-type trigger, usually tied into the codend meshes with bungee cord. The fexible lashing allows a big slug of fsh to enter the codend without over-expanding the triggering device. Unless several of these “eggs” are placed at various points along the codend, a catch indicator will only tell you when the bag is full. Full use of the catch indicator requires the use of other electronic gear on the trawl. We usually secure a Ross “suitcase” into the headrope of our trawl. The suitcase is connected to a “third wire” cable that is tended by a self-tensioning winch. The “third wire” cable links the headrope of the net to the bridge. This unit displays the position of the trawl in the water column and the opening of the trawl itself. It’s not uncommon to “mid-water” bottom nets into position before letting them touch down to begin a mackerel tow. The nets are also mid-watered to fnish of the tow. Without the electronic eye in the headrope it would be virtually impossible to use this technique. Another difculty fshing mackerel is the temptation to tow too long. If for some reason a pass along the bottom has brought only limited success and there are only a few tons in the codend, skippers may be tempted to set the trawl back down on the bottom to fll up the bag. This is often a big mistake, since the dead mackerel sink the codend like stones, causing the bag to drag along the bottom rather than foat over it. Typically, the cod end “burns out.” When it does all the fsh are lost and the deck crew has a giant repair job to look forward to. The same thing results when a full codend is not hauled back as soon as the catch indicators say the bag is full. The bottom on the mackerel grounds is vicious, and a trawl riding over it for any period of time soon turns to shreds. Most operations put “tire gear” footropes on as a matter of course. This saves the trawl from most major tear-ups, since the net is rigged to ride above a chained and weighted cylinder of tires. Still, tear-ups do occur.

time to scout other areas during what I consider “prime time.” This usually gives me the opportunity to try short tows in areas that have potential. Still it’s a guessing game until the bag comes up, since one needs to haul back and inspect the contents of the codend itself to confrm the presence of mack-

Cover with fresh ground paper (how much is up to you) and add the juice of one fresh lemon (cut in half ). Slice the squeezed lemon halves into rings and distribute evenly over the mackerel sides. Cover the pan and bake at 350-400 degrees for 15 minutes or each inch of thickness. Serve with boiled new potatoes, glazed onions and cole slaw.

Fire Destroys LANDMARK PETERSBURG

Cannery By LIA GLADSTONE

PILOTHOUSE GUIDE / JULY 2016

Ladd Hope

n the morning of February 1, 1985, downtown Petersburg smelled like the inside of a wood stove. The Alaska Glacier Seafoods Cannery, one of four in Petersburg, was destroyed in the early morning hours by a spectacular blaze. Volunteer fremen arriving on the scene found the front part of the landmark wood building engulfed in fames and fought the fre from the street while the Coast Guard pumped water from the harbor. Several major blasts, caused by exploding tanks of propane and ammonia, shook surrounding neighborhoods and blew out the windows of the dentistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofce across the street. Residents of nearby apartment buildings had to be evacuated, and boat owners were forced to move their vessels. The Ohmer family cannery, which had no sprinkler system, was a mass of smoldering wood and charred equipment. The adjacent businesses, a laundromat, ice cream parlor and barber shop were also severely damaged, although fremen managed to contain the blaze and keep it from spreading to the other wooden structures downtown. According to Fire Captain Doug Welde, the absence of a west wind probably saved surrounding buildings from being engulfed.Very little has been salvaged from the cannery. After several weeks of sifting through the remains, Alaska State Fire Marshall Ken Lea determined that the fre was caused by faulty installation of the fur-

nace. It had been installed atop a metal plate,which was sitting on wood. The metal conducted heat from the furnace to the wood and eventually caused it to dry out and ignite. Lea says dry wood will ignite spontaneously at a lower temperature than would ordinarily be required.

The destruction of the cannery has far-reaching implications for the economy of Petersburg, placing as many as sixty residents on the unemployment

rolls and taking shrimp of the menu of a favorite eatery. The fre came at an especially bad time, just before the tanner crab season when the cannery is at its peak operating level. Both shrimp and crab were processed at the cannery, and two new shrimp-picking machines were lost in the fre as well as a newly installed crab machine that had never been used. Several crab fshermen had their gear stored in the cannery at the time of the fre and they also will be unable to work the tanner crab season. The cannery was the only market for shrimp fshermen. The Alaska Glacier Seafoods Cannery was the last of the family owned fsh processing plants in Petersburg and that ‘family’ encompassed more than just the Ohmers. Bill Granier, who leases a boat from the Ohmers, has had three generations of his family working at the cannery alongside three generations of Ohmers. Many other third generation fshermen have fshed for the cannery and there are

cannery workers who have worked there all their lives. The cannery was a social gathering place for older Petersburg residents who came to pick shrimp and visit. According to owner Gloria Ohmer, her husband had the shrimp-picking machines for over two years before he installed them because he didn’t want to curtail the social atmosphere of the work place.

There have been discussions placing some of the cannery workers at Petersburg Fisheries Incorporated (Icicle Seafoods), but they would have to take a cut in pay as the Ohmers paid a higher wage. Others are eligible for unemployment compensation. The Ohmers hope to have the debris cleared away and a new building constructed this summer in time for the start of the dungeness crab season.

Clean fshing: Seattle Star enters cod fshery

By ROGER FITZGERALD

rling Skaar, skipper and halfowner of the Seattle Star, fgures his fuel costs will be 75% less per pound of cod than comparable costs on a stern trawler — “and trawl fsh can’t compare in quality to hook fsh,” adds Skaar. Thus, the 138-foot Seattle Star is the latest entry in the Great American Cod Game to determine who can

harvest bottom fsh and make it pay. Included now are the American No. 1, Arctic Trawler, Blue Ocean, and now a top-of-the-line Norwegian-style longliner newly arrived in Seattle from a conversion at the Norwegian yard of Myklebust Mek, Verksted A/S. The former trawler/seiner was converted under a design by Nordvestconsult. Skaar estimates he will have to catch between 30,000 and 40,000 lbs. per day to reach “a break-even point,” a pace which will test the vessel’s Mustad Autoline system with a capacity, according to the manufactures, of

roughly 30,000 hooks per day. The Seattle Star is scheduled to begin fshing in Shelikof Strait and westward with a crew of 14. Skaar said the catch would be transferred to Sea Land or American President Line in Kodiak or Sand Point for shipment to Seattle where it will be marketed through Nordic Seafood, a company formed in June by Skaar and his associates. Skaar commented that after four months of research, the company’s strategy will be to market initially in Europe, which is more receptive to an unfnished product. Cod will be headed and gutted in a Baader 161 and frozen in 40 lb. blocks in two Kvaerner Kulde vertical plate freezers, each with a 6-ton capacity. Skaar expects to produce 12 tons of

frozen blocks per day of cod between 3 to 5 lbs.; larger cod will be blast frozen and marketed separately. The vessel’s freezer has a holding capacity of 10,800 cubic feet holding the product at a temperature of minus 25 degrees. All fsh will be bled immediately as they come aboard, says Skaar, and put into a bleeding tank for a minimum of 30 minutes; from there they will be headed and gutted, washed and put in

Skaar estimates freezing time at three hours or less in the vertical plate freezer. The man target species will be true cod, says Skaar, but blackcod and incidental species, such as rockfsh, will also be taken; what the Baader cannot handle will be headed and gutted by hand. The Seattle Star’s main propulsion system consists of a 2 cycle Wichmann diesel (A.C.A) rated at 750 h.p. Skaar says the main engine is the “Norwegian Cadillac of diesels,” adding that the 10,000 mile trip from Norway was “trouble free.” Skaar says the engine burns about 25 gallons per hour under normal operating conditions. Skaar cites a Norwegian study on the relative fuel efciencies of longliners over trawlers. O. Mustad & Son converted fgures from a 1977 study by the Directorate of Fisheries in Norway to show pounds of fsh caught per U.S. gallon burned. The fgures show that Norwegian ofshore trawlers and factory ships caught 10 lbs. of fsh per U.S. gallon, the smaller wet-fsh trawlers caught 23 lbs. per U.S. gallon, the deep sea longliner caught 29 lbs.

per U.S. gallon, and the inshore longliners caught 35 lbs. per U.S. gallon. The steaming distances of the diferent type of vessels are of course diferent. However, William Nygaard, West Coast Sales Manager for O. Mustad & Son suspects the steaming distances of Norwegian ofshore trawlers/factory ships are roughly comparable to that of the deep sea longliners. The Seattle Star is fnanced though

Skaar owns 50% of the vessel; Arnt Jorgesen owns 25%; and Johannes Eggesboe, a Norwegian fsherman, owns 25%. Skaar says the Seattle Star is comparable in design to longliners in Norway, except that he will freeze his catch, not salt it, and she’s a bit bigger

PEACE CORPS project sends fshermen to PHILIPPINES

By ERICK ASK

y very good friend, Julius, had asked me if I wanted to go fshing with him a few days earlier, and I decided to go. So at 5 o’clock one evening, an hour before sundown, I found myself pushing the stern of his 22-foot outrigger canoe into the murky waters of Sorsogon Bay at the southern tip of the island of Luzon, the Philippines. I was trying not to think too hard about what I had gotten myself into. Julius and I were going “baby trawling.” The fshing method is basically what the name implies. We fsh from an outrigger canoe called a banca in Tagalog, the Philippine national language, or sakayan in the local language, Bicol. The boat has a 10- horsepower Briggs

The trawl has two plywood otter boards and is about 10 feet wide and 20 feet long. We arrived at the fshing grounds at dusk, and the monsoon wind was just coming down, which made me feel better since Julius’s boat was old and leaky, and the pontoons of his outriggers (4-inch-diameter bamboo poles) had long since lost their buoyancy. He assured me that when he hit the jackpot, he’d fx up his boat completely with new paint, epoxy and bamboo pontoons. We both smiled and laughed at this because we were both painfully aware of the predicament that Julius and the hundred other baby trawlers in

Because of their desperate economic situation, however, these fshermen are forced to trawl to feed and clothe their families. Trawlers target crab and a delicious local variety of shrimp. Naturally, they get an incidental catch of predominantly juvenile fsh as well. Since trawls were frst introduced 25 years ago, the practice has made it nearly impossible to catch fsh over 4 inches long. And according to the old men in the fshing villages, the stocks have

And then there are the living conditions: the poor sanitation, the comparatively high cost of medical care, the lack of clean water and the crowded and dilapidated bamboo huts. Although the huts are cool and ideal for the tropical climate, it takes $150 to build one that is sufciently strong and comfortable. Lacking the money, most people content themselves with adding on when they can and making repairs when they do have money. I have been living in the Philippines for nearly a year and a half now, working as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer for the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR). I am assigned to the Seafarming Unit, which is attempting to develop and introduce mariculture techniques to fshermen in order to supplement their income and to improve the diet of the local population, in which there is a high incidence of malnutrition among children.

dropped dramatically since they were young because of this efective fshing method. Not surprisingly, these trawling practices have angered the legal fshermen — gillnetters, handliners, crabbers and spear fshermen — who see stocks of their target species dwindling. Their outcry has produced only lip service from the Coast Guard and Philippine Constabulary (National Guard), who are suspected of occasionally taking bribes from the trawlers they arrest. In the past six months the situation has become particularly ugly due to the emergence of pirata, or pirates, who act as vigilantes. The baby trawlers fsh at night to avoid being caught by the Coast Guard and Philippine Constabulary. Armed with M-16s, the pirata board baby trawlers under cover of darkness and give them an ultimatum — swim or die. Naturally, the fshermen elect to swim the one or two miles back to shore, and the pirates proceed to remove the engine, shaft and propeller. Then, with a few swings of an ax, they quickly sink the boat. All this was going through my mind as we slowly dragged our trawl back and forth under the star-flled tropical night. I thought back to my years of fshing in Alaska, and how diferent it had been there. I had been fshing with my father since I was 13, longlining halibut and blackcod, trolling, tuna fshing and gillnetting herring. Though I fnd fshermen about the same wherever I go in the world, it was difcult for me to comprehend the situation in which these men

LEGACY of the JANET G

By LEE MAKOVICH

t began a century ago, when Phil Green left the small town of Dewatto on Hood Canal and moved to, Olalla, a little bight on the west side of Colvos Passage across from Vashon Island. Trying his hand at beach seining, Green was bit by the commercial fshing bug and developed a hereditary condition that was to pass from father to son for generations. By 1910, Phil was ready to take the big gamble and had his frst boat, the 42-foot seiner Wanderer, built at the Strubstad yard in Tacoma. Powered by a 16 h.p. Frisco Standard, the little Wanderer was replaced by a new vessel just three years later. For a short period of time, it is believed that Phil operated two, or possibly three fshing boats out of Olalla simultaneously. In any event, in 1914 he entered into an agreement with the John Flem Shipyard in Seattle to build a brand new 62-foot purse seiner.The new vessel was powered by 50 h.p. Frisco Standard, and Phil named her

Wanderer II. The Wanderer II was sold in the mid-1920s and renamed the Rho Ann. She is currently owned by Leslie Nyblod of Marysville and still operates out of Everett. Phil’s grandson, Joe Green, Jr., has also been a career commercial fsherman. During a recent visit with Joe and his wife Suzy at their Vashon Island home, we pieced together some of the Green family history. Phil lived and worked out of Olalla for several years before moving his family and base of operations, across Colvos Passage to Vashon Island and the community of Dockton, which has now been the home of three generations of Greens. Phil sold the Wanderer II in about 1925. He had decided to get out of the business of catching fsh and turned to processing. During the 1926 season, he ran the Masset Cannery on Graham Island in the Queen Charlottes for the Canadian Packing Company. He then moved his family up to Alaska on a

steamship, intending to stay there permanently.The following year, along with two partners, Phil built and opened the Tyee Canning Company in Murder Cove at Point Gardener. By the end of the 1928 season, the Tyee Cannery was shut down and Phil was on his way back to Vashon Island. “I guess the canning venture didn’t

Phil wanted his friend John Martinolich to build the new seiner at the Martinolich yard right there in Dockton. However, Martinolich had retired, his sons had gone of on another venture in California and his yard was no longer active. Phil tried and tried to convince Martinolich to build the boat, but he wasn’t having much luck. “Finally, one evening my grandfather took a jug of wine with him and went

of to visit Martinolich in one last attempt to change his mind,” Joe Jr. said. “I’m not sure of exactly what happened but in a few days the Martinolich boys were on their way up from California, and the yard was setting up for the construction of my grandfather’s new fshing boat.” In a few months, the trim Alaska limit seiner Janet G (named after Phil’s daughter) slid down the ways at the Martinol-

ich Shipyard and Phil was ofcially back in the fshing business. She was powered by a 50 h.p., three-cylinder Atlas Imperial diesel. The 1929 launching of the Janet G created a legacy for two more generations of the Green family. Phil ran the Janet G until he retired in 1956 when he turned the boat over to his son, Joe Green Sr. Phil was a man who always enjoyed a good relationship with everyone he came

into contact with. “My grandfather, had many friends in the Yugoslav fshing community as well as the Norwegian fshing community” said Joe Jr. “He served on the board of directors of the Fisherman’s Packing Corporation, he was a lobbyist for fshing interests in Olympia, and he was the president of the Fishing Vessel Owners Association for a time. My dad continued that good relationship with others in the fshing business, and I had tried to do the same.” Joe Jr. told of a time in 1933 when Phil took the Janet G up to the Shumagin Islands in what Joe Jr. called a “fasco” season. He recalled how Phil made the trip across the Gulf of Alaska with fve other boats. He remembered Phil saying “If I have to go across the Gulf of Alaska every year to make a living… I think I’ll just give it up.” Joe Green Sr., Phil’s son, began running the Janet G in 1956. Like his father before him, Joe Sr. kept the boat in top condition throughout his career. Joe Jr. and his brother Skip haven’t veered from that course since they took over the boat in 1974.

“I run the boat,” said Joe,” but my brother Skip (Patrick) does everything else. He is more mechanically inclined than I am, and together we do our best to keep the boat in top shape. My brother, and partner, has been a vital part of the operation of the Janet G.” Joe Jr. recalled the last day of the fall season in 1973. There had been a lottery of sorts to allow a few boats to fsh at Carr Inlet for one day. Joe Sr. entered his name and was fortunate enough to be the frst pick in the drawing. “That day we fshed at Carr Inlet was to be the last day that my dad ran the Janet G as he decided to retire at that time,” said Joe Jr. “My dad’s last day on the boat turned out to be my son Eric’s frst day on a fshing boat. Eric went on to fsh with me for the next 15 years.” There was nothing unusual about another Green family member getting started in the fshing industry. Phil’s brothers Don, Frank, George and Floyd were also commercial fshermen. Floyd operated the Caroline out of Bellingham, George owned the Mi Lady, and Don trawled of of the Washington coast with his boat, the Venture II. Frank became a true innovator when he installed perhaps the frst seine drum ever on his Gray Marine-powered Nonsuch. The drum was mounted vertically and as Joe Green Jr. said “unlike the conventional drum seiners today, the up-anddown version of the drum... well I guess it didn’t work out too well. But Frank was certainly on the right track, and you have to give him credit for a great idea.” In further extension of the Green family’s involvement in the industry, Phil’s sister Vina married Henry Pfunt. The Pfunt family had been engaged in the fshing business since 1910 when Albert Pfunt had the 44-foot Rambler built at the Stubstand Shipyard in Tacoma. Joe Jr. recalled, ‘We had a weekend gathering in Hoonah, Alaska, during the

All told there were nine fshing boats and 23 relatives at the weekend get-together.” Joe Jr. and Skip jokingly refer to themselves as “sport seiners” because they both have other careers in the of-season and don’t depend exclusively on fshing to make their living. “My brother Skip is a school teacher and I have driven a fuel truck on Vashon Island during the ofseason for many years. The young fellow who owns the fuel company that I work for got his start by fshing with me for a few years. Now... I work for him.” Joe Green Jr. is a third generation skipper and like his father and grandfather before him, he has been successful. But nothing is forever, and all things must end some day. Joe Jr. and Skip have recently sold the boat, gear and Alaska seine permit, and the Janet G will soon be leaving Vashon Island and heading for Petersburg in the service of her new owner.

PILOTHOUSE GUIDE / JULY 2016

We know how hard you work—you eat, live and breathe the catch— long hours, rough conditions. Tackling a good run is all that matters to the bottom line. That’s why MSI has designed the MSI-4300 Port-A-Weigh Plus and MSI-9300 Port-A-Weigh Plus CellScale™ RF crane scales to perform for you. Weather-resistant design features like marinegrade alloy constructiona and generous battery life endure season after season. One Port-A-Weigh crane scale can weigh your entire catch during transfer to a tender vessel. Aboard the vessel, Port-A-Weigh crane scales can remain in the sorting hoppers throughout the transfer to station. As the most robust scales in the industry, these scales easily resist wear and tear during transport and rough conditions. Beyond durability, the intelligent capability of the Port-A-Weigh Family teamed with our data collection software precisely records each species’ weighment. The software also logs Scale ID, Fishing Vessel and Location, allowing the tender vessel to perform transactions quickly, maximizing profts, so you can get back out to sea faster. The software will also allow the operator to log transactions and generate end-of-day reports. Experience the MSI Port-A-Weigh advantage: season after season durability. Visit www.msiscales.com/fshing to request more product and custom software information and to schedule a product demonstration in your area.
