In Alaska, trawl fisheries—especially those targeting pollock—play a major role in the global seafood supply. But they also raise major questions about their impact, including bycatch, ecosystem impacts, and who really benefits from the fish pulled from these waters. That’s why in episode 215 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we are discussing the current state of trawling in Alaska. To help us understand the issue, we’re joined by David Bayes, a lifelong Alaskan and charter fishing captain who founded DeepStrike Sportfishing in Homer in 2003. With a background in biological sciences and decades on the water, David has served as president of the Alaska Charter Association and has been actively involved in fisheries management discussions across the state.
