Newspaper Page Text8A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2017 Fish: Food bank distributes some ﬁ sh to 35 partner agencies Continued from Page 1A State Police following safety inspections. The regional food bank had obtained the neces- sary licenses to process the ﬁ sh itself. Fishhawk Fisheries often allowed the food bank to use its facilities on weekends. “We’re all set up for him,” Fishhawk Fisheries owner Steve Fick said of Martin and the food bank. “It made sense to say, ‘Hey, come use it and leave it as you found it.’” But the remaining steps proved arduous for Mar- tin, his three-person staff and the equivalent of 30 full-time volunteers. Often times, they would pick up thousands of pounds of ﬁ sh on short notice before working 18 to 20 hours cleaning, cutting, portioning and packaging. “It got to be too busy for us,” Martin said. Previous state bycatch laws made companies timid to pro- cess illegally or accidentally caught ﬁ sh, said Phillip Ken- nedy-Wong, a legislative rep- resentative for Oregon Food Bank who advocated for the bill. The companies were con- cerned, since previous bycatch restrictions did not make an exception for ﬁ sh donated to food banks, that they could lose their processing licenses. “That was huge from a psy- The Clatsop Community Action Regional Food Bank has been providing fresh fish to families in need since 2012 and is hoping to expand the program in the future.

With the bycatch law in place, the food bank now can make arrangements with a third party, such as Fish- hawk Fisheries or Paciﬁ c Sea- foods, to process the ﬁ sh at no cost. In return, the processor is allowed to keep ﬁ sh parts such as eggs and entrails and distribute them for other pur- poses. The food bank then dis- tributes some ﬁ sh to 35 partner agencies — churches, schools, shelters and food pantries — at up to 18 cents per pound. The low cost allows the agencies to distribute the ﬁ sh at no cost to low-income fam- ilies. The food bank also has donated some of the more than 140,000 pounds of ﬁ sh col- lected since 2012 to about a half dozen other food banks. The new process allows the food bank to continue accept- ing donations and offering ﬁ sh at no price to the consumer at even higher volumes, Martin said. “We’ve now come full circle, if you will, in the pro- cess of processing ﬁ sh.” ‘We’re crazy enough’ For the time being, Clatsop Community Action’s model has remained an almost exclu- sively local experiment. Only one other food bank in the state, South Coast Food Share in Coos Bay, attempted the model. Martin hopes CCA’s recent partnership with Paciﬁ c Seafoods, which oper- ates at numerous locations in the Paciﬁ c Northwest and throughout the country, may help other food banks develop their own partnerships with the company. Before joining CCA in 2007, Martin worked for decades in the food industry as a retail store manager. His atypical background prior to joining the food bank, com- pared with other food bank representatives who often have a social work background, likely gives him an advantage in food distribution. “The key distinction is not having the resources, per se, but business relationships,” Kennedy-Wong said. “Mar- lin has that entrepreneurial sense.” Another major reason for the lack of expansion state- wide has been the ﬁ shing industry itself, Kennedy-Wong said. Quotas, a competitive ﬁ shing economy and tribal treaties in other parts of the state can all factor into how many resources companies can expend processing donated ﬁ sh. “I don’t think any one of us thought it would be a huge windfall,” Kennedy-Wong said. The Paciﬁ c Seafoods part- nership, though, leads Martin to believe that other regional food banks can follow suit. “Here in Clatsop County, we’re crazy enough to take an idea and make it work,” Mar- tin said. “We believe that Clat- sop County, the CCA Regional Food Bank and their proces- sors are setting a model up that we will be able to take to Ore- gon Food Bank and to ports and processors in the entire state and say, ‘This is a model that works.’” CL ASSIF IE D M ARK ETPL A CE P lace classified ad s o n lin e at w w w .d ailyasto rian .co m o r call 503-325-3211 107 Public Notices Occasionally other companies make telemarketing calls off classified ads.
