Indigenous management systems worked for millenia, but in just 70 years the fishing industry managed to ruin it for everyone. The answer is not to double down on what caused the problem in the first place but to apply Indigenous solutions to solve the issue at its root.

Today fisheries policy is going the way of the buffalo by centering principles of privatizing the commons and ignoring the relationships fishing communities have with marine species and their ecosystems.

They want to put the blame on fishers, but history tells us otherwise. Welcome to myth #2 part 1! We want to thank you @salmondefense for allowing the use of Billy Frank Jr's image on these graphics and for all the work they do to ensure there's Salmon for generations to come.

Together we can work to change the narrative and uplift local and regional food supply chains that support values based aquaculture and distribution of local Wild seafood to our communities.

We should counter any narrative that keeps us from believing that small scale fisheries can feed us and our communities or that Wild Fisheries are dead. Who would you rather bet on to look after the public’s best interest, fishing communities or large corporations?

Instead of believing the industry's false narratives about the future of Wild fisheries, we can look to tribal managed fisheries like the @CRITFC and Community Supported Fisheries for examples of shared management systems. This is Part 2 of our 1st myth buster. Share widely!

Oil spills alone cause damage in the ocean that spans for generations. We need local and regional shoreline infrastructure so we can support Wild Fisheries and fishing communities who are the most invested in long term ocean health. Full post on instagram & facebook @nama_net

Between fish escapes, factory trawlers, oil spills, and distorted information on the so called trade deficit that only benefits big business.. how can we blame small fishing communities and condemn Wild Fisheries to be the issue?

WILD FISHERIES ARE DEAD. Is what we hear from politicians, so called "blue economy" advocates, and industry giants. But we know better. This is the first of a series of myths that we'll be posting over the course of this year challenging old stories on the future of fisheries.

Why would heavily armed state and federal police be searching small fishers boats? This short documentary by @MorePerfectUS interviews Ryan Bradley, a fisherman in the Gulf of Mexico making 50 cents a lbs for Red Snapper sold in the market for $25 youtube.com/watch?v=eblUkcdk…
