for communities that are actually live in Alaska.
They live next to this Bering sea.
Okay.
They've fished on it for thousands of years and we don't want them to be aced out of this resource.
And so now we see some of those they're called CDQ community development quota groups, um, have about 10% of this total fishery.
We heard from some of these guys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they'll, and some of them have gone beyond 10% of it.
So some of them lease their quote out to these big Seattle boats, but some of them have doubled down to buy their own trawlers.
Um, and as other fisheries have crashed, essentially, uh, this Pollock and this trawl quota has become a larger and larger part of their portfolio.
So now it's like the, even if they're like the residents of these communities are morally objecting to trawl, they're invested in this a hundred million dollar boat.
They can't just go fish for crab because crab are gone.
They can't fish for halibut salmon.
Those are gone.
So they're in kind of this use it or lose it scenario now.
Yeah.
which is just a crazy concept for a rural village on the edge of the Bering Sea.
They kind of got drug into it in that way.
Yeah.
