Alaska Fisheries Report – Aug. 30, 2018

Play

The Governor declares the Chignik fishery an economic disaster area. Normally, fishermen catch a million or so sockeye. This year they caught 128. Just 128.

More bad news from southeast where the pink salmon harvest is the lowest in over four decades.

If that wasn’t bad enough there are still those pesky Chinese tariffs.

Ah, but we have something fun today after all, we finish up with a report on the Net Hack Challenge.

 

We had help from Isabell Ross at KDLG in Dillingham, Aaron Bolton at KBBI in Homer and Joe Viechnicki with KFSK in Petersburg. We also had help from Laine Welch at Alaska Fish Radio

Be safe fishing. We—and your family—wants you to come home safely.

As always a big thank you to everyone who helps make this program possible each week—including our listeners and all the radio stations that air our show.
