This class will cover three main topics in the Fisheries Intensive this year: Net Hanging and Mending, Introduction to Bristol Bay Salmon, and Vessel Stability. The Net Hanging and Mending section will be a hands on where you will measure, cut, and hang your very own 5 fathom subsistence salmon net as well as learn different mending techniques for fixing a more experienced net. The Introduction to Bristol Bay Salmon section will take you through the history, geography, management, and economic features of salmon and what makes Bristol Bay so unique to the rest of the world. The Vessel Stability section will teach you about basic physics when it comes to balancing a fishing boat and different types of weights (liquid, solid, free surface) will impact your boat differently.
