About Safest Catch
SafestCatch.net is a web-based community committed to safety at sea and sustainable fisheries; Safety first followed closely by quality seafood production.
In a play on the imfamous Deadliest Catch, it is important to look beyond 'made for TV' and look at the real fishermen who are the true stewards of our Nation's resources.
Services
This site is envisioned as a go to source from one lifelong mariner's perspective to follow the maritime industry of the Pacific Northwest/Alaska and provide timely information on Safety Practices, Real World fishing in the North Pacific & Bering Sea, Training/Educational Links, Sustainable Stewardship of our Nation's resources, and more ~ check back regularly as the industry is 'all consuming' and there undoubtedly will always be something new to report on.
