Petty Officer 2nd Class Christopher Waters, of West Hills, Calif., assisted by Petty Officer 3rd Class Kylie Stroot, of Jacksonville, Fla., students at the Coast Guard’s North Pacific Regional Fisheries Training Center, measures a trawl elevating device to ensure compliance with federal regulations, Sept. 11, 2014. Trawl elevating devices are set up along trawl lines leading to the net, to prevent contact with the seafloor when actively fishing and prevent unintentional injury to crabs and other sea life. During fisheries law enforcement boardings in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska, Coast Guard boarding officers ensure commercial fishing vessels are operating safely and legally, preventing the loss of life at sea and ensuring the sustainability of Alaska’s $2 billion fishing industry.
