The ﬂ eet’s catch limits on groundﬁ sh like rockﬁ sh, black cod and Dover sole were dramatically slashed to protect severely overﬁ shed species. On Friday, the White House recognized Brad Pet- tinger, the leader of the Ore- gon Trawl Commission in Brookings, for his role in leading the way to recovery. On his watch, a ﬁ shery that was on the brink of collapse is now certiﬁ ed sustainable. Pettinger was one of 12 people across the coun- try honored as “Champions of Change” in the seafood industry at an event in Wash- ington, D.C. Shems Jud of the Envi- ronmental Defense Fund said Pettinger played a key role in turning a struggling ﬁ shery around. “In the early 2000s, the West Coast groundﬁ sh trawl ﬁ shery was pretty much a disaster across the board,” he said. “There were a number of slow-growing, long-lived rockﬁ sh species that had been Joe was born on leap day Feb. 29, 1936, to Joe liked to hang out with Jon (and his yel- Ann and Cleatus Nichols in St Helens, Oregon. low dog, Puppers) in his shop and help him He passed in Halfway, Oregon, on Oct. 3, 2016. build boats.

The program gives each permitted boat a percentage of the total catch limit and tracks every ﬁ sh that comes on board. Pettinger said the lat- est ﬁ sh counts show all the changes have had a posi- tive effect. The ﬂ eet will be allowed to catch around 40 million pounds of rockﬁ sh next year. “We’re going to have a directed rockﬁ sh ﬁ shery on the West Coast for the ﬁ rst time in almost 20 years,” he said. “We could poten- tially double the value of the ﬁ shery — in a sustainable manner.” severely depleted. There was high levels of bycatch, low levels of accountabil- ity. Really, everything bad that can happen in a ﬁ shery was happening. Nobody was making any money. It wasn’t working well for anyone.” Pettinger said the whole ﬂ eet deserves credit for undergoing massive reforms to reduce bycatch, rebuild ﬁ sh stocks and restructure the permitting system. “What ﬁ shery has done what we’ve done: Basically hit bottom, right?” Pettinger said. “For the most part our stocks have been rebuilt, and they are well above the target level.” The ﬁ shery was reorga- FIVE-DAY FORECAST FOR ASTORIA TONIGHT WEDNESDAY THURSDAY 64 55 43 Mainly clear Windy with rain Windy with rain Last Salem 39/66 Newport 44/61 Oct 22 Coos Bay 49/65 First Oct 30 Source: Jim Todd, OMSI TOMORROW'S TIDES Astoria / Port Docks Time 4:53 a.m. 5:21 p.m. Low 0.5 ft. 1.6 ft.
