Business of Fish Course: Lowering Your Fishing Fuel Bill
March 24, 2009, 12:00 – 1:50 pm
High fuel prices in 2008 hit the Alaska seafood industry like a ton of bricks, exposing one of its greatest weaknesses – reliance on fossil fuels. Not only is the fishing industry wholly dependant on fuel to move its equipment, but more and more, consumers are asking how much fossil fuels are used to bring the food to market. There are a number of techniques that will reduce fuel usage on commercial fishing vessels. Experts in the field will stop by and talk about these tools, how they are used, and tips on maximizing their efficiency.
