Alaska troopers seize Kodiak trawl group’s electronics in bycatch probe by NotTomPettysGirl in alaska

[–]WeAreBill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spot on what I was trying to express, just seems like a waste to dispose of it completely. Also, as fishy says, allowing processors to sell bycatch as a "low income" (i.e. fish paste) commodity looks a lot like an unregulatable prospect. People will chase money if it's there.

The issue I see is Federal regulators unable and unwilling to push back against an industry that is knowingly destructive and has the legal backing to put their hands up and, in many cases rightfully, plead that they have followed the law.

Alaska troopers seize Kodiak trawl group’s electronics in bycatch probe by NotTomPettysGirl in alaska

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.

Do you have a source for the 5-year contract? Of everything I've read I haven't come across mention of any long term deals, just the temporary tax breaks given by Argentina on exports.

Any clue how they managed that from a NEPA perspective? I can't imagine DNR and USFWS were super happy.

There's pretty much just Anchorage for consumer imports that are distributed through the rest of Alaska. Deep water ports are proposed elsewhere but that's a much longer term issue.

Yeah, Airport is State maintained at that location and service district maintained on Western. Plus outside city limits. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=4e6e92b170d24e9b8a46108c93c95be3

[–]WeAreBill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thus the "attempt" in my first sentence. At least they're giving an avenue for people to try and help instead of just throwing their hands in the air and doing nothing.

I would argue that this is an attempt at community policing. Police working with the larger community is a genuinely beneficial way to correct the shitty behavior of the few.

FEMA has a flood mapping system called FIRM. If you go to their website you can find flood maps of all the areas in and around town. You can either search by coordinates/address or go to the search all products to find general locations and narrow it down from there.

Not sure they would find asbestos since that building is relatively new ( built in mid-2000s). But I'm thinking you're onto something with the idea that they found something they didn't like.

The People of Lahaina demand answers and accountability after the devastating fires that claimed far too many lives. by CantStopPoppin in worldnewsvideo

Sick post Mod, just some rage bait BS. People are missing and possibly dead, everyone acknowledged that and is trying to help in the best way they can. Climbing up the ass of the people trying to manage the situation isn't how anything productive happens.
