Most of the crew isn't from there.
I think 97% of the crew is non-Alaskan.
So they fly to this boat.
Uh, they live on it for two weeks.
They work, they fish, they come home and they don't really care where that boat is.
That boat could be in Nicaragua or it could be in the Arctic or the Antarctic or wherever.
It's not like you and I go out and fish in this pond in our backyard.
They're flying to the boat.
They work and it's this mobile city that moves around.
So because of that trawl has never had to have this local investment
You know, if you and I lose our fish in the backyard or we lose the elk in Montana, you know, that might be the end of our fishing or hunting.
But, uh, when you're from this like factory platform, you just move to another continent or you move to another area and you keep doing what you're doing.
It doesn't impact you in the same way.
And you don't, you're not worried about what your kids are going to do because your kids could fly somewhere else too.
Sure.
Not in the same way.
And there again, that's a crazy that.
you know, we have a wild resource that we regulate in this way and take this bigger risks with, cause we see all the protections, you know, sage grouse or bighorn sheep or whatever it may be.
We're, we're counting the single species and those we can go out with helicopter and look at, but, um, what happens in the ocean is a whole new ball game.
Yeah.
