卡徹馬克海灣的捕魚及海業傳奇
地方性遺產
哇，好大的一條魚！事實上，大比目魚可重達700多磅！您認為漁夫是用什麼方法捕獲怎麼大的一條魚的？在卡徹馬克海灣當地，有許多不同的捕魚方法。
阿拉斯加的卡徹馬克海灣，是世上漁獲量最豐富的地區之一，人類已經在此處定居數千年了。雖然它位在阿拉斯加，但當地的氣候卻相當的穩定，當地的許多陸地及海洋動物，是卡徹馬克海灣居民的食物及經濟來源；自1900年代，煤礦工業沒落後，當地的居民改以捕魚維生，而荷馬市則成為該區的商業及運輸中心。
因為當地有許多不同種類的魚類及海洋生物，所以用來捕抓這些生物的船及漁網，也有許多不同的型式。「Pots」是用來捕捉螃蟹的工具，抓鮭魚時則使用漁網，而「trawler」(備有漁網的船，它的網子會沿著海底拖拉)是用來捕蝦。漁業用到的漁船則包括了「seiner」(如獨木舟的小船，船夫會手動將網子拉上船，再轉交給裝有強力漁網處理設備的大型船隻)及「gill-netter」(依尺寸大小排列，通常裝有帆布，以便藉風力來航行)。
Wow, that's a pretty big fish! In fact, a halibut can grow to more than 700 pounds! How do you think fisherman catch a fish like that? In Kachemak Bay, there are many different methods of fishing.
Kachemak Bay, Alaska, is one of the richest fishing grounds in the world. People have lived there for thousands of years. Even though it's in Alaska, its climate is fairly mild. The many land and sea animals provide a source of food as well as income for the locals. After the coal industry died out in the 1900s, the locals turned to fish to make a living, and Homer became the commercial and transportation hub of the area.
Because there are so many different kinds of fish and marine life, there are many different vessels and nets to catch them with. "Pots" are used to catch crabs, nets are used to catch salmon, and "trawlers" (boats with nets that drag the bottom of the sea) are used to catch shrimp. Vessels used in fishing include "seiners," (such as canoes from which nets are pulled in by hand and transferred to larger boats with powerful net-handling equipment), and "gill-netters," which range in size and often have sails to keep them moving with the wind.
