Patagonia now producing and marketing salmon jerky
Awesome outdoor clothing manufacturer Patagonia is now making a line of wild salmon jerky. Pretty sweet. Apparently all the salmon will come from sustainable fisheries using non-gillnet methods such as tangle-tooth, dip nets, beach dragnets, and fish wheels. Having paired with Skeena Wild, the point is to move seafood industry away from counterproductive practices such as overfishing and fish farming. Read more about this on the LA Times website.

CCA working to end destructive gillnetting practice in sturgeon sanctuary
CCA, or the Coastal Conservation Association is asking Washington and Oregon to end gillnetting on certain stretches of the Columbia river. Even thought the states have closed the area below Bonneville dam to sportfishing in from May-August, commercial gillnetting is still allowed during the sport fishing closure.
“It’s a little bit of a poke in the eye for the recreational community to voluntarily give up a very popular, productive fishery for conservation and find out they are still running gillnets through there specifically targeting those same sturgeon,’’ said Bryan Irwin, executive director of the Coastal Conservation Association in the Northwest. ”
