Under NOAA management Alaska trawlers wasted 4.2 million pounds of halibut in 2023. At an average size of 4.76 lbs per fish equals 882,352 halibut wasted last year.

Their is no reasonable defense to these obscene levels of waste.

ALL forms of trawling in Alaska drag the seafloor!

The ocean cannot sustain industrial scale waste, it should be criminalized.

Sea turtles were around 100mln+ yrs ago & lived alongside dinosaurs🤯🦖now many are threatened with extinction thanks to bycatch risk & habitat loss.

So this #WorldTurtleDay , let’s stop bulldozing their habitat & start promoting sustainable fishing practices. #BanBottomTrawling

As I said in my previous tweet: Still consuming fish and seafood in 2024 is criminal. Ghost nets (#1 plastic polluter of the oceans along with microplastics - and not plastic straws or bottles!), fishing hooks, bottom trawling, bycatch etc. Stop participating in this.

It should be no surprise that Alaska's fisheries are in trouble.

Crab is declared a resource disaster but 4.35 million crab is allocated to factory trawlers for bycatch waste.

NOAA Fisheries AK does not manage for sustainability they manage for corporate profit.

Spread the word

Alaska banned bottom trawling, why won’t the federal government ban bottom trawling?
