Instagram post 17874202894500182 $It seems all along the North Pacific coast, herring are in trouble. North of B.C., tribal leaders in Sitka are taking the Alaskan government to court to demand better protection for herring, the #BIGlittlefish that holds strong cultural and economic significance for these people.⁣ ⁣ According to members of this tribe, herring spawn now only covers a small fraction of the coastline—a stark contrast to abundant historical measures when entire oceanic areas would turn completely white from their sperm. Today, fear is growing that these stocks are on the verge of complete collapse.⁣ ⁣ Just as in B.C., industrialized fishing techniques make it far too easy to overexploit herring stocks in Sitka Sound. These harvesters take the eggs from inside fish once they are caught. In another method practiced for thousands of years, indigenous people set out hemlock branches where herring spawn and lay their eggs. This is a far more sustainable model, but in recent years, these people have been pulling up branches bare.⁣ ⁣ Learn more via a new in-depth piece by The Guardian (link in our bio).⁣ ⁣ Photo by @iantmcallister$

Indigenous communities have harvested herring and their eggs from their territories for thousands of years. Now, once-abundant stocks have been disappearing for decades, lost to the nets of commercial fishing fleets.⁣
⁣
At last month's HELIT TŦE SȽOṈ,ET (Let the Herring Live) Forum, WSANEC Hereditary Chief, Eric Pelkey, explained how members of his family and community are dying from diseases caused by diets that no longer contain enough fish.⁣
⁣
“We have been living off fish for so many thousands of years that our bodies have grown to need fish in order to live. Our people need that herring fishery in order to live. We need that herring fishery in order to survive.”⁣
⁣
