Origin
Welcome to the landscape of the Pacific Northwest coast! It is characterized by lush evergreen forests that cascade down to meet the rocky shores and sandy beaches. The waters of the Pacific Ocean are often dotted with fishing vessels, reflecting the town's strong connection to the sea. Here albacore tuna is abundant. However, weather, wind and water influence fishing, and local fishermen search the waters for schools of tuna. The season typically runs between July and October. The fish follow the warm currents that run the coastline anywhere from 20 to 100 miles offshore.
Fish with a story
Tuna fisherwoman Valerie Philips is part of the American Albacore Fishing Association (AAFA), a non-profit organization of American fisher(wo)men who have been fighting for sustainable tuna fishing for many years. In 2007, AAFA was the first sustainable tuna fishing association in the world to be awarded with the MSC certification. This award is reflected in the traditional way Valerie and her crew fish, with a simple pole and line, one fish at a time.
Fishing method
Valerie and her crew use pole and line for fishing. Before they start, they tie a rope around their waists and tie it to the boat, to avoid slipping overboard if the fish pulls too hard.
