Are you concerned about the safety of Alaska Seafood? Do you currently eat it? Your opinion and thoughts are very important!

Alaska Safe Seafood Scan Network
In a response to the lack of interest and effort on behalf of the Alaskan government to test radiation of the Alaskan fishing industry, A group of concerned citizens (particularly those in the fishing industry), are banding together to set-up a Private Collaboration to supply the Population with much needed information about the safety of seafood.

The concept for sites under constructed
alaskasafeseafoodscannetwork.com
where we will also purchase and test seafood at local stores and also canned, dried and frozen in-store brands All seafood will be tested for Mercury and radiation and nitrates


Into that will feed the following to begin with
tesmycatchalaska.com Alaska

with capabilities to incorporate other states to follow

All of the information gathered will dump into main website and onto App with real time ticker that runs results across the top of the page 24/7

Categories by fish and one for seaweed will be set up
Salmon
Halibut
Crab
Shrimp
Octopus
Sea Bass
Rock-fish
Oysters
Clams
more to be added

website visitors will see results interactive map will show and list where seafood has been caught with name and location co-ordinates for said waterway. All testing will be filmed and uploaded to website, App and facebook page

App will send out alert for any seafood breaching level
Any seafood breaching level will be sent immediately to certified 3rd party lab for further testing

We will start with field testers at the most popular fishing holes in Alaska and expand from there testers that will go through training will have a portable lab setup for equipment to work from at field locations.

Commercial Fleets, Seafood Processors, Charters, Guides and related fishing businesses as in bait shops, sporting good stores, lodges wanting to participate will be able to offer service by leasing equipment for the season with the option to buy at seasons end in return for their transparency they will be listed as testing sites.

Testing will be free but we will accept donations

We will charge a small fee for the App

People submitting fish for sampling will also fill out a questionnaire that we will use to create other data bases related to consumer use, concerns and comments

Americans consumed a total of 4.833 billion pounds of seafood – or approximately 15.8 pounds of fish and shellfish per person – of which roughly 50 percent is wild-caught and 50 percent is farmed, according to NOAA’s latest data. On a per capita basis, Americans eat about 3.5 ounces per week, which is half of what USDA recommends.

Mission Statement;
We are a group of concerned citizens, business owners, sport fishing and subsistence hunters, Alaskan residents with no hidden or political agenda. Our mission is simple we want to know the Alaskan Seafood we have caught is safe to eat and contaminate free.

What we will test for Radiation, Mercury, Nitrates

We feel there is a true need for this service if you feel the same way we would appreciate your input on the feasibility survey below. Thank You so much!

After the remarks from Juneau last week DEC: Fukushima radiation not ‘concern’ for Alaska
Commissioner Larry Hartig said the state has not seen concerning radiation levels from tsunami debris or in the water since the event and has no plans to launch its own radiation monitoring team. It just shows that you get more radiation risk from eating a banana than eating a tuna in that area.” Hartig said he understood concerns but said that monitoring in the Lower 48 and by the federal government have not shown there to be radiation meeting dangerous levels, adding that Alaska seafood is safe.

I'm an Alaska commercial fisherman. My boat is in Toledo OR getting a new pilot house. We are almost finished and heading back to Kodiak tomorrow as we have a 7 day weather window which is absolutely unheard of at this time of year! But hey, I'll take it.

I have been in the ship yard here in OR for 3 months and have been testing radiation levels every day with 2 radiation detectors. I have not ventured far as I've not had time to go anywhere except from our apartment to the boat. I have not detected ANY levels above normal background radiation. This does not mean that there are not hot spots along the coast. I'm guessing if I had more time to walk the beaches I would probably find some hot spots.

We are heading north tomorrow (Tuesday) and I'm going to be testing the water every day, probably multiple times a day. I don't have Internet on the boat but if I find a high reading on the way to kodiak I will post it when I get there.

By the way, this is my first post on glp. Yes I know my username sucks, but i don't have the time to figure out how to change it.

WELCOME!!!! and God Bless You!
We need and want your input you are a brave soul Sir! I salute you please PM me I have some questions for you :)

Conditions never seen before by scientists in Pacific seals and walrus — Thyroid cysts, lesions of reproductive system, retained placenta — Hunters concerned — Oceanographers to discuss radiation from Fukushima on Alaska radio tomorrow

I stopped eating ocean fish after the gulf oil disaster. No desire to ever eat it again with radiation in the mix. Can't believe people still do....

Had fish for supper tonight, from last years catch… it was fine… both Halibut and Silver Salmon…… Delicious!!!… This is part of the challenge…. people take a knee jerk reaction and stop eating ALL Fish….. not necessary. I understand that some have this reaction though…. This is why i will be testing my fish first, before putting it in my pantry, and on my table. along with all our food! Need to be safe.

Do you really think that the radiation falling from the sky will not poison the crops on the fields? the grass that the cows eat? the grapes they make wine with? The soil that they plant tomatoes in? Use common sense! It is not just the ocean! it is the soil we plant our crops in, it is the air we breathe, it is the rainwater that runs off our roof……CMON!!!!!!


Those who take the knee jerk reaction to stop eating all pacific fish, should do the same with Chicken/Turkey, that they inject with broth to juice it up, after feeding it with GMO Corn. also with Beef, that they fatten up with Steroids etc…….. Anything less would be hypocritical.
