This is a new campaign that "sounds" like it is addressing some of

the concerns trollers have. ?? I've never been in favor of the "transnational"

sector of fisheries and this campaign seems to address that. Recently

out on the coast they have started to "rationalized" one of the trawl fisheries.

Interestingly, there was no requirement that the person with the right to

catch the fish having to be on board when it's fished.

Sounds like a step towards not needing to be a fisherman to catch fish?!

I know this exists in other fisheries but how long will it be before it shows up in salmon?

It would be nice if some of the more experienced and knowledgeable

of such things would chime in on what they think of

the Fair Fish campaign.
