Bottom trawling is a dirty fishery supported by dirty management.

David Attenborough has spent years sounding the alarm on factory trawling, and he’s right: bottom trawling is one of the most destructive practices in our oceans. Alaska needs leaders willing to stand up to the trawling lobby and protect our fisheries before it’s too late.

[Mary Peltola @MaryPeltola]

Factory trawling is destroying our fisheries. We need to ban it.

Monk seal attacker’s lawyer says he was radicalized by extremist anti-pinniped rhetoric from fishermen and politicians in Washington:

“He lives in Washington State, he’s a fisherman… and if you’re familiar… if you’ve ever been to Seattle… the sea lions are very aggressive.”

The measured waste alone Trawling in Alaska is ecocide.

The unquantified damages to the seafloor is sickening.

@NOAAFisheries is corrupt for promoting trawling.

Genetic testing of salmon bycatch can take months or even a year to complete.

Anyone who says the chinook are not Western Alaska bound is quoting old data.

@NOAAFisheriesAK @NOAAFisheriesAK makes a big deal out of one sea lion.

Meanwhile, they allow industrial trawlers to kill hundreds of seals and sea lions.

@AKPFA and @NOAAFisheries love to destroy the ocean with bottom trawling!

[Trawler Bycatch Tracker 🦀 @Trawler_Bycatch]

For trawling and @NOAAFisheries they only trust the science when it is convenient.

[Trawler Bycatch Tracker 🦀 @Trawler_Bycatch]

Disgusting levels of waste.

Look at the chum numbers...the fish have disappeared.

The Yukon River’s fish population is in serious trouble, with thousands of pounds of halibut and king salmon lost as bycatch to bottom trawling.

The numbers are concerning, and it’s clear that a solution is needed now more than ever.

Trawling is killing Alaska’s fisheries.

AK’s elected officials are playing bait and switch delay tactics to keep trawlers going.

[Kodiak Waters @KodiakWaters]

@MaryPeltola From dragging large cables across the sea floor to midwater trawling, Seatle based factory trawlers decimate everything in their path.

Even flocks of birds that are drawn into their lights at night and crash into the boats rigging.

Our fish are being taken and our freezers aren’t getting filled. Alaskans want to stop factory trawling from wrecking our fisheries, but DC people and their corporate donors are standing in the way. We can’t save our fisheries until we fix this rigged system.
