The pollock trawl fleet catches and dumps 380,000 pounds of marine life per day

So, what fish can we eat?

I’m sorry, this is entirely untrue.
Your claim “the pollock trawl fleet dumps 380,000 pounds of fish per day” is wrong on so many levels.
The Bering Sea is managed via 100% retention and 100% observer coverage. No fish is dumped.
The Gulf of Alaska is managed via ~ 30% observer coverage; with many vessels using 100% Electronic Monitoring Camera systems. We’re all 100% retention while fishing pollock.
I’d welcome you aboard for a pollock trip anytime on board my boat; which is a wholly owned Alaska small business. Then, maybe you’d open your eyes to my industry instead of spewing baseless accusations online.

Thanks for that response. After spending most of my Coast Guard career in Kodiak it would be fascinating to join / observe a trip.
