The Alaska Fisheries Report

Coming up this week, fishermen all across Bristol Bay are gearing up for what is appearing to be a big run, a Valdez cannery has agreed to a small fine for discharge violations, and some relief for small-boat fishermen when it comes to carrying observers – maybe in three years. We had help from KCHU’s Marcia Lynn in Valdez, KDLG’s Matt Martin and Molly Dischner scattered about Bristol Bay, and KCAW’s Robert Woolsey firmly ensconced in Sitka.
