The Salmon People

"The Salmon People" is a documentary about the struggle of Alaska's Natives to survive without Chinook salmon while corporations catch their fish and dump them overboard as trash in the quest for fish sticks and the filet-o-fish sandwich.

And the beat goes on.

A record amount of chinook salmon bycatch by the trawl fleet in the Gulf of Alaska pollock fishery this fall has triggered another consultation under the Endangered Species Act.

Although the initial estimate of 58,336 chinook in the Gulf has been revised down to 52,401, the total is still well above the threshold of 40,000 fish that requires consultation under the ESA.

Solar Action Lures

Catch the sun, catch some fish!

When sun hits the back of the lure, the solar cell mounted inside the lure starts vibrating. Motion of the lure sends out the vibration on the water surface in the same way as real insects do!
