    Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976?

    Exactly where "IS" reality at the UFA?

    What a great idea. Thanks to UFA for recognizing a lot of great contributors. A lot of great Alaska fishermen, scientists, and managers are not on this list. I am sure there will have to be a process for induction every year.

    Armin Koernig was a hero to be sure.

    My vote would go to Ross Mullins. He fought the pipeline way back in the early days, and then captured those Exxon b*stards on film when they came to Cordova and lied in 89'. He was a fighter...
