Hello. One powerful seafood company has come to monopolize the Dungeness crab industry in the Pacific Northwest, pushing down prices for fishermen and bullying rivals. Now, small crabbers are fighting back. New from me in @CivilEats: civileats.com/2023/07/11/op-…

Op-ed: Fishermen Want to Break up a Dungeness Crab Monopoly

A lawsuit against Pacific Seafood aims to bring competition back to the West Coast crab industry, and give small fishermen a chance to thrive.

Insightful Op-Ed written by a Gulf fisherman in response to our @NewBedfordLight investigation with @propublica: "This consolidation of power and control will only worsen if nothing is done." @CivilEats civileats.com/2022/08/31/op-…
