Petty Officer 3rd Class Nathaniel Cassar, of Lexington, N.C., measures a rigid tunnel opening on a fish pot panel, to verify the size of the opening meets federal regulations, allowing undersized or juvenile marine life to escape, as part of a training course at the Coast Guard’s North Pacific Regional Fisheries Training Center, Sept. 11, 2014. Students must also verify the pot is equipped with a biodegradable panel at the bottom of the pot, which allows marine life to escape if the pot is abandoned or lost. 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, ensuring the sustainability of Alaska’s $2 billion fishing industry.
