WHO WE ARE

The Bycatch Report team works tirelessly to produce videos that bring awareness and action to issues impacting Alaska's fisheries. 

We'll keep the newest videos here, along with important announcements and action items. 

But to keep this up, we need your help! Please consider supporting us directly through our Patreon. You can also subscribe to the Bycatch Report Youtube Channel to watch our full video catalogue, or follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

This is your bycatch report for October 2024. Please visit our friends at SalmonState to learn what you can do to help protect Prince William Sound from the destructive impacts of trawl! https://salmonstate.org/bycatch

Here is your bycatch report for September. This was a big month, as it saw the closure of the Central GoA Pollock B Season following the massive Chinook bycatch event that you've all heard so much about!

Data shows that pelagic, or "midwater" trawl nets are actually in contact with the ocean floor 30-70% of the time... even in areas not approved for bottom trawl such as halibut nurseries. The results are catastrophic. Help stop this destructive practice!

OUR MISSION

At Bycatch Report we want to raise awareness about the effects of trawler bycatch with the goal of generating discussion that will ensure long-term sustainability for fisheries in Alaska and across the world.
