Tuna Fisheries in Indonesia Go Eco-Friendly
August 10th, 2010 | 
Author: 
Tuna industries in Indonesia are turning to friendly fishing. The world tuna industry has been widely blamed for killing endangered sea life, such as turtles, sharks and sea birds.
The sea-life killing culprits are the longline and purse seine nets they use. The nets drag and dredge the sea bed, taking everything along with the prized tuna, a staple in most menus.
However, the Nutrindo fishery in Bitung, North Sulawesi in Indonesia is using the hand line rather than longline in their 25 boats for two weeks to one month.
Fishery owner Hartono Tjandrason says the reason he chose the handline was to avoid catching in sealife except for tuna.
[Hartono Tjandrason, Fishery Owner]:
“In this fishing industry, we need development sustainability, resources sustainability. So, without resources we would not have development. We have to maintain this circle.
His fishery exports a ton of yellow fin tuna to Japan daily and some 100 tons to United States a month.
Bas Zaunbrecher, of ANOVA, a Netherlands-based tuna fishery that operates in Bali’s waters says most of his customers in Japan and the U.S. demand environmentally friendly Seafood products.
[Bas Zaunbrecher, ANOVA]:
“More and more of our customers they require fish from sustainable sources. So it is actually a must for the future and also if things are not being controlled properly in the future, we will not have any resources anymore to buy our product from.
His company’s long line of fleets have replaced traditional J-shaped hooks, which fish and turtles tend to swallow, with various sizes of circular hooks.
Endangered sea turtles accidentally caught by fishermen off Indonesia’s sea coasts usually die, but innovative hooks that are too big to swallow are increasingly saving the reptiles’ lives.

BP’S LEAKING by TomV
Janet said we were all doing BP songs so this is mine. I wrote it this morning and threw it together so it is what is. I didn’t listen to anyone else’s BP song except for Janet’s so if I snagged a phrase or a word,….it was completely innocent and unintentional. We’re kinda having fun with this from a songwriting standpoint but it is not funny in the least as a global ecological, economical or social issue. This is pretty much bad ya’ll.

Eat My Salmon! ~ part 1
A video series about commercial fishing for Salmon on the Kenai Peninsula. This is what I have done most of my life. Even when i do other things, I always show up here at the kenai river.
Alaska is one of the last wild salmon fisheries in the world. The fisherman and processors work hard to bring you a tasty, and healthy meal. Salmon, Halibut, Cod, Shrimp, Crab, Scallops, and more all wild fresh from Alaska.
But we need your help!!!
The expense of fishing, and low market prices, make it hard for the fisherman, and processors. And could eventually risk the mortality of the salmon themselves.
The commercial fisheries is vital to the existance of the salmon runs. And to keep the fish and fleet alive, we need hungry people. People who are hungry for healthy tasty FISH!
You spend lots of money on fancy diet foods and meals, when a small amount of vegies and some salmon are a vitamin filled, high protien, high energy, good tastin meal. I eat fish to stay healthy.
How can you help?
EAT MY FISH!!! Buy Alaskan wild Seafood, Ask for Kenai River Red Salmon.

Cruel Treatment of Wildlife
Sharks and Rays killed for no reason. shocking.
“Unfortunately, poor fisheries management and wasteful, destructive fishing practices are decimating the world’s fisheries, as well as destroying marine habitats and incidentally killing billions of fish and other marine animals each year.
But you can help change this. Consumer demand for sustainable Seafood can act as an extremely powerful incentive for better fisheries management. If you buy or ask for seafood that comes from sustainable sources, you are helping to protect our marine environment and, at the same time, ensuring that seafood can be enjoyed for many years to come.” http://www.worldwildlife.org/

Trident Seafood Plant at Akutan Alaska
Trident Seafoods, the largest processing plant in North America, is located in Akutan on a volcanic Aleutian Island 1,700 miles north of Seattle and 35 miles from Unalaska/Dutch Harbor. The plant processes pollock, crab, halibut, surimi and other species harvested from the Bering Sea. All of these videos and most of the photographs were taken in June 2008.

Redondo Beach Pier
California’s coastal piers are one of the state’s most popular attractions. Hi, I’m VH with CTT and today we’re going to check out Redondo Beach Pier.
The earliest pier in Redondo Beach dates back to 1889, but the unique V-shaped construction you’ll find today debuted in 1916 as one of the most unique piers along the coast. The current pier was reconstructed in 1996 with many historical similarities to the past.
Along the horseshoe-shaped Pier, you’ll find plenty of specialty shops and great restaurants, including Kincaids Bayhouse and the historic Old Tony’s, which offer beautiful sunset views of the coast.
The pier is also the spot to pick up some fresh saltwater taffy, buy an oyster pearl, check out a shark exhibit, or take a 25-cent look at the coast.
A fishing license is not required while fishing off California’s public piers, but all other regulations apply. Just watch out for the hungry pelicans, who wait anxiously for fresh fish to fly up on the boardwalk.
While you’re on the pier, check out the tribute to George Freeth, the first surfer in the United States. Freeth helped Henry Huntington build the largest saltwater plunge in the world here in 1907.
Below the pier you’ll find the International Boardwalk, a marina that boasts live music, several seaside boutiques, and the Redondo Beach Fun Factory, where kids can play arcade games or ride the Tilt A Whirl.
This is also the place to rent a kayak or pedal boat for a closer look at Redondo’s resident sea lions, who live out beyond the jetty. You can also book a speed boat ride on the Ocean Racer or ride a glass-bottom boat for a glimpse at underwater sealife.
One of my favorite spots is Quality Seafood, a live fish market that’s been in Redondo Beach since 1953. It’s one of the largest retail Seafood markets on the West Coast, and they’ll grill your fresh fish to order.
For a quick and inexpensive bite, fuel up on their steamed local crab or fresh clam chowder with a side of ice cold Corona. What a great way to end your day on the pier!
I’m Veronica Hill and that’s your California Travel Tip.
