Unhappy ALASKA FISHING Deadly summer season calls for evaluation of safety preparedness

Deadly summer season calls for evaluation of safety preparedness

National Fisherman
By Laine Welch
August 8, 2017

“It’s time for a checkup from the neck up,” meaning an industry time out to evaluate fishing operations and behaviors, advises Jerry Dzugan, director of the Sitka-based Alaska Marine Safety Education Association for more than 30 years.

Dzugan was speaking in response to the 11 fishing deaths that have occurred in Alaska so far this year. It’s the most in 13 years and follows a 76 percent decrease in commercial fishing fatalities since the 1980s.

Re: ALASKA FISHING Deadly summer season calls for evaluation of safety preparedness

If you watch the deadliest catch...I know, its reality TV... but they are in some really ugly water out there......Maybe just maybe, they should shut havest down for large storms and extend the season to make up for lost time due to weather.....just thinking out loud... you would not catch me on one of those freakin boats....even when I was young and invincible.
