About this episode
Steven Rinella talks with David Bayes . Topics discussed: The Stop Alaska Trawler Bycatch group ; the incomprehensible size of trawling nets; pulling up a quarter of a million pounds of fish with one trawl net sweep; a floating factory; the impact of bottom trawling and how many countries have banned it; what you're really not supposed to be catching; as good as dead if caught in a trawl net; different regs between the Bering Sea and the Gulf of Alaska; population impacts on pollock, salmon, and many other species; the huge concern of the seafloor being destroyed and lost; and more.
