Deadliest Catch
A few of my favorite shows on TV include Battlestar Galactica, Boston Legal and Las Vegas. Reality isn’t included in any of them and I don’t get much excited about reality shows. However the Deadliest Catch is an exception.
The show is about Alaskan crabbers who literally risk their life so we can enjoy some tasty seafood. Last years show, which I caught by accident, was incredible. This year things have changed.
Unlike last season — the last derby style race to catch as many crabs as possible in a matter of days — fishermen must now abide by a new set of rules and regulations that were implemented to decelerate the already dangerous conditions in the Alaskan waters. New policy dictates that each ship is given its own quota instead of one fleet-wide quota, allowing captains months to trawl for crabs instead of days.
I wonder if it wont be as good this time without the derby but it should be considerable safer. It’s certainly not worth anyone loosing their life’s over so I welcome the change for that reason. There’s some more background on the change from derby to quota from the Anchorage Daily News that’s worth reading.
