Coming up this week, Senator Mark Begich gives us more details on his nationwide seafood marketing plan, we also hear from the professor who wrote a history of the University of Washington’s long-term study of Alaska Salmon runs. American Seafoods is facing more fines and penalties, and we get an update on the inflatable suspender distribution event in Haines. We had help this week from KUCB’s Alexandra Gutierrez in Unalaska, KHNS’ Margaret Friedenauer in Haines, and KDLG’s Mike Mason in Dillingham.
