Alaska Fisheries Report – Oct. 4, 2018

 

Play

October is National Seafood Month. And guess which state provides the bulk of this country’s seafood? Like more than all the other states combined?

There is promising news for both Prince William Sound and Kodiak. There could be Tanner crab pots on the ground in both areas after the first of the year.

Beluga whales in Cook Inlet are struggling for survival as a species. We have two perspectives.

 

That’s it for this week’s edition of the Alaska Fisheries Report.

We had help from Nat Herz with the Alaska Energy Desk, Robert Hannon with KUAC in Fairbanks. And Laine Welch of Alaska Fish Radio.

Be safe fishing. And don’t forget to wear your life vest underway, so you can celebrate National Seafood Month next year.

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