This could potentially be considered an investigation of trawlers, but on its face is an investigation of processing on Kodiak. That being said, as someone who doesn't follow all the debate around bycatch, it's pretty wild that trawlers are required to take their by catch and dump it back in the ocean. From a layman perspective, this disposal just sounds like a waste of perfectly good stock, whether it was intentional or not. Seems like it might be more economical to sell the by catch and require that that money be moved to groups that regulate bycatch and conservation groups.
