CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME. 29 COMMERCIAL FISHERY NOTES. N. B, ScoFiELD, Editor. MANY FISHING BOATS DESTROYED. For the second time in recent years great damage has been done to the fishing fleet at Monterey because of the lack of proper shelter for the fishing fleet. On Thanlcsgiving Day, 1919, ninety-two power boats were washed ashore at Monterey. Nor does this include lighters, nets and other gear, and damage done to docks and wharves. The estimated loss to the fish- ermen alone will run close to $150,000. A further severe loss will be suffered by the canners, as sardines are plentiful at this time and there will be but a few- boats to fish for them. In England and other European coun- tries the government improves small har- bors purposely for the use of fishing smacks. It is apparent that our own government in making surveys and plans for the improvement of harbors should take into consideration the need for refuges for fishing fleets. A breakwater which would give proper shelter for the fishing fleet at Monterey is needed, and there are many small bays along our coast which should be improved and made into harbors for fishermen's boats. FISHERMEN'S UNION AT FORT BRAGG. During the spring of 1919 the Fisher- men's Union at Fort Bragg established and operated their own plant for mild curing the salmon catch. Steep hillside property on the Noyo River was purchased and a 60 by 80-foot shed erected. It was necessary to grade about 800 feet of roadway on the steep hillside to connect the shed with the highway. The con- struction and grading work was done by the fishermen, most of the labor being donated. By agreement. Small & Urie canned the small salmon for the Union, the Union packing over half the total catch of nearly 3,000,000 pounds, so that. Fig. 12. Monterey fishing fleet piled on the shore after a
