Maybe.
Maybe.
Yeah.
Okay.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was, that's the official standpoint.
Okay.
And there's water temperature change.
But, uh, what that triggered was this, uh, fisheries management
that regulates crab in the Bering Sea also regulates trawl.
And so their crab scientists, the crab science side of it, started to look into this, and they found out that the trawlers were actually fishing in this closed-to-bottom trawl area of the Bering Sea, this crab nursery or crab habitat area.
And that was where this document came out that, well, it was the mid-water trawl captains themselves, the Pollock captains, that said, we know our net's on bottom trawl,
20 to a hundred percent of the time, you know, it said, but we can't get in trouble for that because regulators knew it too.
Like this isn't new news.
This is just how we fish.
Um, but that has set off this chain reaction obviously of, well, we have all these areas closed off of Alaska to protect habitat because we don't want bottom trawls there, but they're not close to midwater trawls dragging on bottom.
