By LUKE WHITTAKER Chinook Observer ILWACO, Wash. — Com- mercial fishing fleets, once known for abundant natu- ral resources and food pro- duction, are suffering from increased poverty and food insecurity. In response, about 50 state and local officials, scientists, researchers, business owners and fishermen convened Fri- day for a “Fisheries Roundta- ble” discussion at the Colum- bia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco. They explored options to improving coastal fisheries and the communities they serve. Salmon runs in the Colum- bia River and the Pacific Ocean once supported a vari- ety of thriving industries. Construction of the hydro- power system, changes in the ocean food web, large-scale predation and other problems have sliced salmon runs down to a small fraction of their for- mer grandeur. At the same time, evolv- ing fisheries management philosophies have scaled back hatchery salmon pro- duction, just as there is a new recognition of the impor- tance of enhancing Chinook salmon abundance in support of struggling southern resi- dent killer whales. The round- table was organized to begin formulating a united path forward. Concerns regarding hatchery funding, predation issues, catch quotas and pol- icies were reviewed during the five-hour meeting. Dis- cussion addressed the fallout from malfunctioning fisher- ies in communities in Pacific, Grays Harbor and Wahkia- kum counties, where food insecurity has increased. Luke Whittaker/Chinook Observer Commercial fisherman and clam farmer Ernie Soule pleaded with U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler for chang- es to ease the burden on commercial fishermen. These are communities that were traditionally food pro- ducers but are now failing to feed some families. “There is a hunger in these counties,” said Irene Martin, a historical researcher and Epis- copal priest in Skamokawa. “There’s a great irony here, and it’s not a good one.” Coalition of Coastal Fish- eries President Dale Beas- ley of Ilwaco urged a start to rebuilding fisheries and the fishing industry. “Back in the 1970s, our Ilwaco fleet brought in over 400,000 salmon,” said Beas- ley, a retired commercial fish- erman and crabber. “This past year was under 30,000.” The reduced catch in com- mercial tonnage leads to other problems in the commu- nity, including less leverage for dredge support, vital for ports in Ilwaco and Chinook. Only commercial harvests are counted as incoming freight, which determines eligibility for federal dredge funding. “Our fish processors have been forced to consolidate and reduce their workforce,” Beasley continued. “More salmon abundance will bring our communities back from the brink of extinction.” Coho Charters owner Butch Smith of Ilwaco echoed similar sentiments, encouraging agencies to increase hatchery production. “Today, the pie is hardly big enough to fight over; we need to increase stock,” Smith said. “What we’re doing now is not working, neither for the commercial fisheries nor the tribes, who are losing their community vitality.” Discussion volleyed between scientists, research- ers and fishermen, each add- ing input and experiences, and suggesting how policies could be improved. Commercial fisherman and clam farmer Ernie Soule of Nahcotta expressed his dis- satisfaction with current poli- cies, pleading for changes to ease the burden on commer- cial fishermen who often face a “fish or go hungry” sce- nario as a result of increased regulations. “I’ve lost my sons,” Soule said, regarding the deaths of his two adult sons in May and in 2015. “It’s time someone spoke up.” Jerold Richard ‘Jerry’ VanderPool Warrenton April 3, 1941 — Oct. 3, 2018 FIVE-DAY FORECAST FOR ASTORIA TONIGHT THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY 65 44 42 Clear 61 45 Partly sunny SUNDAY 65 44 Partly sunny 65 45 Sunshine Plenty of sunshine Jerold Richard “Jerry” VanderPool, 77, of Jerry was especially proud of his restored Warrenton, died on Oct. 3, 2018 in Astoria. 1966 Sunbeam Tiger, and he had many friends in He was born on April 3, 1941 in Bakersfield, the Sunbeam community.
