Coming up this week, biologist are optimistic about Lower Cook Inlet’s salmon prospects this summer; meanwhile, the board of fish is meeting in Anchorage to address Upper Cook Inlet finfish issues, also known as “The Fish Wars.” A couple of legislators are trying to remove a gag order on Board of Fish members when a conflict of interest comes before them, and preserving the stark beauty of Bristol Bay’s abandoned canneries in pictures, coming up, on the Alaska Fisheries Report. We had help from KBBI’s Shady Grove Oliver in Homer, KFSK’s Joe Viechnicki in Petersburg, KUCB’s Laura Kraegel in Unalaska, and KDLG’s Lawrence Hamilton in Dillingham.
