His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

A dangerous neurotoxin called domoic acid, emitted by algae blooms in warming waters, has been showing up in large concentrations in crabs and shellfish, and has caused delays in three of the last four crabbing seasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ocean conditions also led to a spike in whale entanglements, resulting in a legal settlement that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11735659/california-dungeness-crab-fishery-to-close-three-months-early-to-protect-whales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">closed the season early this year\u003c/a> and will see it shut four months early in coming years as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortened seasons have made it hard for crabbers to hold on to crews, which are essential to a thriving fishery.

By early 2015 it had spread from Alaska to Mexico. Scientists were perplexed, but eventually figured out what was going on … sort of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a combination of factors: warming oceans, melting sea ice and a lack of wind, caused by what they called a \u003ca href=\"https://news.stanford.edu/press-releases/2016/04/01/pr-drought-patterns-change-040116/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“ridiculously resilient [atmospheric] ridge.”\u003c/a> This is where it gets \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/articles/theblob.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">even more complicated\u003c/a>: Scientists are still unsure whether the ridge caused the blob or vice versa, or whether they were just two anomalies occurring at the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11741928\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11741928\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Crescent-City-Harbor-1920-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Sea lions crowd the docks at Crescent City.

Without upwelling there wasn’t much phytoplankton, and without phytoplankton there was less krill than usual. And less of several other small fish, too. That meant marine mammals were \u003ca href=\"https://www.hakaimagazine.com/news/hypothesis-confirmed-sea-lion-mass-deaths-caused-malnutrition/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">going hungry\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the blob sparked an enormous bloom of a particular type of algae that emits a potent neurotoxin, domoic acid. Crabs and various other shellfish are tested for their domoic acid content before the start of each fishing season, and if they test above 30 parts per million, the opening is delayed. That’s precisely what happened in 2015. The Nov. 15 opener came and went, then December, January and February, and finally the crab season opened March 26, 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fishing Season Delays Hit Crabbers Especially Hard\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had just bought our first house, so taken on the biggest debt of our lives, and then the domoic acid shutdown happened,” says Ben Platt, who lives in the Sonoma County town of Windsor but fishes out of Crescent City, up by the California-Oregon border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Platt grew up fishing with his dad at Point Arena in Mendocino County. “My brother and I started fishing in the summers, salmon trolling with our dad, when we were about 9 years old,” he says. “They used to let you get out of school early to fish. My brother started getting out a month early to work on boats when he was around 12.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Platt preferred school. He went off to college, then moved to Los Angeles to pursue a music career, but life brought him back to boats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got into drinking and then I went from drinking to drugging and that became a big problem for me,” Platt says. “When I hit bottom I was homeless in Los Angeles. I lived on the streets of L.A. I was in and out of jail and in a lot of trouble. And in my last day there I almost died. I got in a fight and got stabbed and I almost bled out. So that was my wake-up call. I ended up following my dad’s suggestion and went back with him to Fort Bragg.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11741902\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11741902\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BenPlatt-1920-800x927.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BenPlatt-1920-800x927.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BenPlatt-1920-160x185.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BenPlatt-1920-1020x1182.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BenPlatt-1920-1036x1200.jpg 1036w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BenPlatt-1920-1920x2225.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BenPlatt-1920.jpg 1767w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ben Platt lives in the Sonoma County town of Windsor but fishes out of Crescent City near the California-Oregon border. \u003ccite>(Amy Westervelt/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He started fishing with his dad again on day passes from rehab, and then after about a year his dad died suddenly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I moved into town at that point with a year clean and sober to help my stepmom out,” Platt says. “And so I was like, well, there’s this leaky old skiff with an outboard motor that doesn’t run very well, and a trailer and a little pickup truck. And so I tried it and did well, and then I actually sank that first boat and was fishing out of a kayak for a while with a friend of mine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Platt says it was like sport fishing, but he was making money out of it. He eventually bought a Boston Whaler with a bigger engine and rented a little alley house in Fort Bragg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s happening lately, three out of the last four years, with our crews is we’re asking these guys to sit around and either make no money or very little money doing part-time jobs, but they have to be on call for when the season does start,” Platt says. “So it’s really hard for them to work, and our boats are sitting idle for three, four, five months at a time now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most crabbers have permits for at least one other fishery, usually two or three, and Platt’s no different. But he says the delayed crab seasons are impacting other seasons, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We crabbed that [2014-2015] year until the very end of the season, which in District 10 is June 30. And then it takes a couple of weeks to get your gear. We had to check our gear back home, break it all down, stack it,” Platt says. “So by the time we got salmon trolling it was already middle of August, so essentially salmon season was just about over by the time we started.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Platt says most crabbers want to be wrapping up their seasons by late March at the latest, but that’s been tough in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to be done with your crab season before we even started on these domoic acid years,” he says. “So last year we didn’t start until Feb. 7, or something like that.

A dangerous neurotoxin called domoic acid, emitted by algae blooms in warming waters, has been showing up in large concentrations in crabs and shellfish, and has caused delays in three of the last four crabbing seasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ocean conditions also led to a spike in whale entanglements, resulting in a legal settlement that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11735659/california-dungeness-crab-fishery-to-close-three-months-early-to-protect-whales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">closed the season early this year\u003c/a> and will see it shut four months early in coming years as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortened seasons have made it hard for crabbers to hold on to crews, which are essential to a thriving fishery.

By early 2015 it had spread from Alaska to Mexico. Scientists were perplexed, but eventually figured out what was going on … sort of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a combination of factors: warming oceans, melting sea ice and a lack of wind, caused by what they called a \u003ca href=\"https://news.stanford.edu/press-releases/2016/04/01/pr-drought-patterns-change-040116/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">“ridiculously resilient [atmospheric] ridge.”\u003c/a> This is where it gets \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/articles/theblob.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">even more complicated\u003c/a>: Scientists are still unsure whether the ridge caused the blob or vice versa, or whether they were just two anomalies occurring at the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11741928\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11741928\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Crescent-City-Harbor-1920-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Sea lions crowd the docks at Crescent City.

Without upwelling there wasn’t much phytoplankton, and without phytoplankton there was less krill than usual. And less of several other small fish, too. That meant marine mammals were \u003ca href=\"https://www.hakaimagazine.com/news/hypothesis-confirmed-sea-lion-mass-deaths-caused-malnutrition/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">going hungry\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the blob sparked an enormous bloom of a particular type of algae that emits a potent neurotoxin, domoic acid. Crabs and various other shellfish are tested for their domoic acid content before the start of each fishing season, and if they test above 30 parts per million, the opening is delayed. That’s precisely what happened in 2015. The Nov. 15 opener came and went, then December, January and February, and finally the crab season opened March 26, 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Fishing Season Delays Hit Crabbers Especially Hard\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had just bought our first house, so taken on the biggest debt of our lives, and then the domoic acid shutdown happened,” says Ben Platt, who lives in the Sonoma County town of Windsor but fishes out of Crescent City, up by the California-Oregon border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Platt grew up fishing with his dad at Point Arena in Mendocino County. “My brother and I started fishing in the summers, salmon trolling with our dad, when we were about 9 years old,” he says. “They used to let you get out of school early to fish. My brother started getting out a month early to work on boats when he was around 12.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Platt preferred school. He went off to college, then moved to Los Angeles to pursue a music career, but life brought him back to boats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got into drinking and then I went from drinking to drugging and that became a big problem for me,” Platt says. “When I hit bottom I was homeless in Los Angeles. I lived on the streets of L.A. I was in and out of jail and in a lot of trouble. And in my last day there I almost died. I got in a fight and got stabbed and I almost bled out. So that was my wake-up call. I ended up following my dad’s suggestion and went back with him to Fort Bragg.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11741902\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11741902\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BenPlatt-1920-800x927.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BenPlatt-1920-800x927.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BenPlatt-1920-160x185.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BenPlatt-1920-1020x1182.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BenPlatt-1920-1036x1200.jpg 1036w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BenPlatt-1920-1920x2225.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/BenPlatt-1920.jpg 1767w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ben Platt lives in the Sonoma County town of Windsor but fishes out of Crescent City near the California-Oregon border. \u003ccite>(Amy Westervelt/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He started fishing with his dad again on day passes from rehab, and then after about a year his dad died suddenly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I moved into town at that point with a year clean and sober to help my stepmom out,” Platt says. “And so I was like, well, there’s this leaky old skiff with an outboard motor that doesn’t run very well, and a trailer and a little pickup truck. And so I tried it and did well, and then I actually sank that first boat and was fishing out of a kayak for a while with a friend of mine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Platt says it was like sport fishing, but he was making money out of it. He eventually bought a Boston Whaler with a bigger engine and rented a little alley house in Fort Bragg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s happening lately, three out of the last four years, with our crews is we’re asking these guys to sit around and either make no money or very little money doing part-time jobs, but they have to be on call for when the season does start,” Platt says. “So it’s really hard for them to work, and our boats are sitting idle for three, four, five months at a time now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most crabbers have permits for at least one other fishery, usually two or three, and Platt’s no different. But he says the delayed crab seasons are impacting other seasons, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We crabbed that [2014-2015] year until the very end of the season, which in District 10 is June 30. And then it takes a couple of weeks to get your gear. We had to check our gear back home, break it all down, stack it,” Platt says. “So by the time we got salmon trolling it was already middle of August, so essentially salmon season was just about over by the time we started.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Platt says most crabbers want to be wrapping up their seasons by late March at the latest, but that’s been tough in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to be done with your crab season before we even started on these domoic acid years,” he says. “So last year we didn’t start until Feb. 7, or something like that. This year we started Jan. 22 up here. You can’t get a full crab season and a full salmon season, or if you’re a shrimper, you can’t get a full crab season and a full shrimp season.
