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.

Association Party
(AKA Konrad Uri's 80th Birthday)
SafestCatch.Net ~ Safest Catch dot Net
Our favorite party of the year: Northwest Fisheries Association Annual Holiday Party.
The event honored John Garner as person of the year; a previous honoree close to me is of course, my Father, Konrad S. Uri who happened to turn 80 years old and was serenaded by Everette Anderson and the entire crowd - really a fitting tribute for a lifelong fisherman who would rather be fishing at 80 years old than retired!
Pictured above are Helen, Konrad, and Beth Ann Uri. Read more about Konrad here: NWFA Person of the year 2011
Read more about the Northwest Fisheries Association, where my colleague Wayne Okino will be on the board in the coming year, here: NWFA
