Innovation nation - How new developments in aquaculture are boosting the Scot...International Aquafeed
With an estimated market value of over £1.8 billion and Scottish salmon exports alone reaching over £500 million, Scotland’s aquaculture sector is fast becoming a core pillar for the future growth of the Scottish economy. However, with such a steep increase in the demand for fish products, there is a real need for innovation within the sector to stay ahead of the curve and provide a sustainable supply of healthy protein; not only for the present but for the future of a market that appears set to keep growing. Ahead of Aquaculture UK, CEO of the Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC), Heather Jones, shares some of the organisation’s forays into finfish research projects and the ways in which is working with both industry and academia to enhance the whole of the Scottish aquaculture sector.

Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food production systems in the world.The aquaculture industry in Wisconsin,
comprised of approximately 2,000 registered fish farms, contributes over $7 million to the state’s economy annually.
There are many species of game, food, and bait fish cultivated throughout the state in a variety of production systems. In
recent years, the growth of the aquaculture industry in Wisconsin has slowed and the number of registered fish farms is
beginning to decrease.The reason for the decrease in fish farms is not known, but it could be from the tough economic
times, high costs of production, limited markets, environmental restrictions, or the site location of the fish farms.The
objective of the study is to determine if the site location characteristics play a part in the success of the fish farm
operation.The utilization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to create an evaluative model examining the
environmental and socio-economic characteristics of current registered fish farms and those that have closed.The
characteristics considered are land cover, soil types, elevation, water quality and source, and proximity to infrastructure
and potential markets.The evaluative model will then be used to create a predictive model using a multi-criteria
evaluation procedure using a GIS.The predictive model will be able to determine suitable locations for sustainable
system-specific and species-specific aquaculture facilities.

Our articles highlight part of the broad base of Auxiliary activities and special training programs available to our approximately 24,000 Auxiliary members. These activities and training opportunities are an ongoing crucial part of the mission goal of being America’s Volunteer Guardians.
During these critical mission times impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has temporarily sequestered non-critical/non-essential group activities, we can still participate in producing publications, internet flotilla and fellowship meetings, plus online learning and training activities. Importantly, we can stay active and relevant in supporting our missions’ preparedness for when we all return to our essential duties and service..In this Q-2 issue, we start with Auxiliary patrol coxswain and crew qualifications in a diagrammed graphic design format created by our Layout/Design Editor. We continue to be current and emphasize health and wellness of our Auxiliary members as they perform physically demanding activities such as Auxiliary patrol crew by including an AUXFITNESS instructional article on doing pre-patrol stretches. There are inserts about the Auxiliary and the programs we participate in, photojournalism, and USCG history items reflecting our efforts to cover a broad base of topics including a new series, “Why I joined the Auxiliary”.
We strive for geodiversity in our articles to illuminate the national diversity of our Auxiliary membership and missions. Our goal as Editor and Layout Editor is to make our contributors’ work shine and communicate with impact. Our door is always open to new and intriguing articles from around the country and globe that tell the story of the USCG Auxiliary in serving our communities, and participation with the United States Coast Guard as members of Team Coast Guard.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

USCG Commercial Fishing Vessel Safety Program 2016 Roger Bazeley USCG-AUX PA
1. Commercial Fishing Vessel Safety Program Enhanced By Coast Guard
Auxiliary as a TEAM COAST GUARD Partner by Roger Bazeley, FSO-PA Flotilla 1-7, D11N
Commercial Fishing is one of the most dangerous occupations in the world. USCG Auxiliary and USCG
Commercial Fishing Vessel Inspection Teams covered multiple ports providing inspections prior to the opening
of the 2015 crabbing season in spite of a significant delay of the 2015 Crab Season due to warmer waters algae
bloom contributing to high levels of toxic domoic acid, a neurotoxin in crabs. The Eleventh North Coast Guard
District has approximately 1,400 fishing vessels operating in its waters. The USCG Auxiliary and USCG past
approach to implementing fishing vessel regulations has focused primarily on communication and education.
The USCG Auxiliary has been actively engaged in performing dockside commercial fishing vessel safety exams
with USCG active duty, reserves, and civilian employees to facilitate servicing the industry.

This year there were multiple teams that offered safety examinations to commercial fishing fleets and owners
located at Crescent City, Eureka, Fort Bragg, Bodega Bay, San Francisco’s Hyde Street Pier, Pillar Point-Half Moon
Bay, Santa Cruz, Moss Landing, and Monterey teaming up with USCG active and reservists for hands on training.
The Vessel Examination Teams met for a day of classroom training at Coast Guard Island with instructors Manny
Ramirez, CFVE and Reservist Lt. Cdr. David Cripe. The teams of examiners were deployed to nine fishing fleet
locations the following week, prior to the scheduled opening of the 2015 crab season.

2. The USCG Eleventh District North Prevention Division states, “The heart of our enforcement program is the
mandatory dockside examination. The dockside examination program involves a inspection by qualified Coast
Guard team members to help fishermen bring their vessels into full compliance with federal regulations (CFR).
The primary goal of the examination program is aimed at prevention and reducing the high injury and death rate
in the commercial fishing industry.

These free examinations are thorough vessel checks, which examine all safety equipment. The examinations are
done by qualified Coast Guard and USCG Auxiliary personnel, or a third party organization accepted and
designated by the Coast Guard. The fishing vessel operator is required to possess a valid current commercial
fishing vessel examination decal and USCG Certificate of Compliance for vessels operating beyond three nautical
miles, off the baseline of the U.S. territorial sea. The examination educate the fishing public and to ensure vessel
safety. The penalty for not passing the exam generates an official 30 day notice of deficiency. However, if the
exam is passed, a Safety Decal and USCG Certificate of Compliance is issued indicating the vessel is in
compliance with all current applicable Coast Guard regulations.
3. Crab pots waiting to be loaded on to fishing vessel. Auxillarist Chester Bartalini inspects dry suit.
Example of Safety Requirements Subject to Examination for Commercial Fishing Vessels:
There must be at least one Coast Guard approved PFD device of the proper size for each person on board the
vessel. Immersion suits (also known as "Exposure or Survival Suits") carried on board, are acceptable as long as
they are maintained and in good condition. All devices must have 62 square inches of retroreflective tape (31
square inches on the front and 31 square inches on the back and the same on the inside if the device is
reversible).
The retroreflective tape on immersion suits must be placed so that the tape can be seen if the wearer is in a
floating position. When vessels operate on ocean, coastwise, and Great Lakes voyages a Coast Guard approved
PFD light must be attached to the front shoulder area of the required device.
A Coast Guard approved throw -able flotation device (orange ring life buoy with 60’ of line for vessels of 26’ to
64’), or throw able cushion for vessels 26’ and below, must be carried on board. Commercial fishing vessels are
required to carry a Coast Guard approved survival craft of sufficient capacity to accommodate every person on
board out of the water, as determined by the USCG requirements tables.

“The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010 changed the requirements for examinations from voluntary to
mandatory for the majority of commercial fishing vessels, effective October 15, 2015. The Act increases the
requirements for safe practices, appropriate manning levels, and for drills and emergency procedures. While
responsibility for commercial fishing vessel safety continues to rest with the boat owners and operators, the
Coast Guard and the Auxiliary provides increased oversight of safety practices and regulatory compliance.”
(USCG Auxiliary Prevention Directorate)

The Auxiliary is currently training additional personnel including USCG Reservists to assist the active duty Coast
Guard to perform commercial fishing vessel examinations. The various teams that went out this year were a
combination of Auxiliary, active Coast Guard, and USGC reservists who worked together as “Team Coast Guard”
in performing this year’s commercial fishing vessel inspections.

“The Commercial Fishing Vessel Examiner qualification for Auxiliary members is exactly the same as for active
duty and reserve personnel. A high level of professionalism and acceptance of responsibility is required for the
qualification, as well as an ongoing commitment to improve the safety outcomes for the fishing vessel industry.
There is a formal education requirement, either from the local sector or the CFVE C-School.” (USCG Auxiliary
Prevention Directorate Website)

Rear Admiral Joseph A. Servidio the Commander of the Eleventh Coast Guard District has previously spoken at a
NLUS/USCG award luncheon of the accomplishments of the dedicated enlisted, civilian, and volunteer auxiliary
members of the U.S. Coast Guard Team that support the successful missions and goals for ensuring maritime
safety, recreational boating outreach, and maintaining port and national security, as well as environmental
quality through rapid incident response. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary plays a vital role as a force multiplier in
many of these key missions including the annual examinations of Commercial Fishing Vessels.
