Alaska Fisheries Report — May 10, 2019

Play

 

The Togiak herring fishery was a record breaker. We have a report as well as a round-up of May fisheries.

The deadline is extended for public comment on the Pebble Mine draft environmental review

What happened to the shellfish that used to live in Kachemak Bay?

More trade war news. This time it’s got to do with the European Union, Airbus aircraft and Alaska pollock. Can fishermen ever get a break?

We had help from Isabelle Ross at KDLG in Dillingham, Nat Herz with the Alaska Energy Desk, Renee Gross at KBBI in Homer, and Laine Welch at Alaska Fish Radio.

Whether you fish commercially, sport fish, or fish for subsistence, remember life jackets really do saves lives. So does letting someone know where you are going and when you’ll expect to be back.
