But they, a lot of that is uncontrollable by humans or uncontrollable in the short term.
But trawl could be fixed tomorrow, you know, or reined in, but not without economic pain to the people doing it.
So there's a select group that's making a ton of money off this, billions of dollars.
And they say, well, even if we are kind of the most obvious outlier here, the most controllable variable, you can't cut us back because we're making a lot of money off of it.
And where that really connects is that so... To be clear...
Ah, yes, they, they do say that they, uh, yeah.
So, and where it gets really interconnects, and this is something a lot of people don't realize is that the fisheries management council in Alaska, which regulates trawl exists under NOAA fisheries.
So you hear about NOAA, like save the whales, save the turtles, NOAA weather.
Um, but they don't realize that NOAA is a division of the department of commerce in DC.
And so we think of.
Every time that trawl starts to make this economic claim and says, if we don't catch the pollock, the Russians will, or we're going to, this is going to create a trade deficit between the USA and other nations.
You know, the U S fish and wildlife service or department of interior EPA probably wouldn't bite on that.
They'd say, we got to protect the fish first.
And then how much money you guys make comes later.
But when you present that to the department of commerce, they say,
that's a pretty good point.
We're not, we're not going to make the USA lose money on this.
Even if Alaska only gets fractions of that money total, you know?
And so then you set up kind of this like Alaska versus Washington, DC.
How do you want these natural resources used?
