How do gear methods work?
How was this fish caught? This is an important question you should be asking anytime you eat seafood. Some gear methods can have damaging effects on delicate marine ecosystems and animal populations while others are designed to do the least damage to habitats and to minimize by-catch. Check out our quick explanation of some of the most common fishing methods you may hear about.

Jocelyn Dick
Meet Jocelyn Dick, Multi-Generational Tseshaht Fisher
"[My relationship with Jocelyn] started with a cautious phone call and pretty quickly graduated to engaging conversations around ethics, justice, and Indigenous world-views. She taught me all about how Economic Opportunity fisheries work for Tseshaht and Hupacasath fishers in her community — what works and what doesn’t. She shared stories of collaboration and true community, of people that have each other’s backs no matter what. [...] And as the salmon began to make their return to the Somass river outside Jocelyn’s front door — and she shared photos and videos of splashes made by countless jumpers and her excitement for what their return meant for her and her community — I decided it was time to make a trip to Port Alberni to hang out in person."
