Episode description

Jon Warrenchuk is a fisheries scientist and advocate for oceanic habitat preservation. In this episode we talk about the devastating efficiency of the Pacific trawl fleet in comparison to other commercial fishing methods such as trollers and seiners. We discuss the bycatch impact on halibut, cod and Chinook salmon, what it means going forward and what we can do, if anything, at this point.
