And there is only one person that comes to mind – his good friend and legendary crabber Johnathan Hillstrand. First, Sig needs someone who isn’t afraid to stick his neck out.
Spearheading their defense is Captain Sig Hansen from the F/V Northwestern – who proposes a two-pronged plan to save the fishery. It doesn’t take long for the captains to realize that they can’t start this season without a new approach. Meaning this year, the captains will be fishing blind with no charts or guidance on where to find crab on the grounds – making an already challenging season even more difficult. Due to government-imposed lockdowns, Alaska Department of Fish and Game weren’t able to conduct their summer crab survey. It’s been a tough year for everyone, especially for the crabbing fleet in Alaska. DEADLIEST CATCH returns with a season like no other before, streaming exclusively first on Friday, March 19 on discovery+, ahead of the season premiere airing Tuesday, April 20 at 8 PM ET/PT on Discovery. Their livelihood depends on it or they could potentially face the end of their careers. If they’re going to make it work, the fleet will need to make sacrifices and band together across lines – even with long-sworn enemies. This year, it’s a fight for the industry’s survival. Crabbing isn’t just a way of life for the captains and their crew. Now an existential threat faces the fishermen who make the long-haul trip to Dutch Harbor, Alaska, for the 2021 Crab season – a potential closure of the entire fishery.
(LOS ANGELES) – In the wake of the global pandemic, half the crab boats of the Bering Sea fleet are tied up in Seattle. Here’s the Discovery Channel’s press release on the new season: You still wanted to see everyone stay safe. I did see everything from a broader scale. But with safety, I was not only thinking about myself because of my (previous) heart attacks, and, of course, my crew, but also for the fleet as a whole. I always put safety first, but this time you had to really think about the industry as a whole. So it was a really different experience for everybody as a whole. …ĬC You’ve been doing this for a long time, but what did you learn about yourself during this most unique time in your career? Even just to get some of the gear that we needed. We were not even allowed to step on the dock to sign our fish tickets or to deliver sometimes. I’ve got friends who were in different fisheries as well, where if they spend four months fishing up there, they never got off that little boat one time in four months. And then, after the first 10 (or) 12 days, we could start to relax a little more about it as far as COVID was concerned. And then just going to the dock, there were different protocols there. We’re checking the crew twice daily – (checking) temperatures – the whole nine yards. You’re literally counting the days on the calendar looking for symptoms. Getting started, like I said, and then waiting for the next five, seven or 10 days even after that. So, just getting started was a hurdle.ĬC Were all of you on your boat and other boats on edge the whole time with the threat of the pandemic hovering over you and knowing that your operation could be shut down at any moment? And it was so difficult to get started on all of our backup plans for the fleet and for the processors and government. With all the different protocols – we had a different protocol on our own vessel we have protocols by the state of Alaska there is a protocol in Dutch Harbor and for each individual town.
