Roy Hyder is Oregon's lone voting member on the North Pacific Fishery Management Council.
His view, judging from this e-mail exchange with Newport, Ore., crab boat owner Gary Painter, is that the council is out of kilter.
"There seems to be an attitude that fish and fishing activity in the North Pacific Region EEZ belong to Alaskans," Hyder wrote.
Deckboss obtained this correspondence from the city of Newport. It was among materials the Newport City Council considered in passing a resolution supporting greater Oregon representation on the council.

Read the letter: it's about the trawl allocation. Here's some news: The oregon draggers out of Kodiak are criminally underreporting their bycatch. They're the worst of the bunch. Just go check out the tholepin blog. They want more seats on the council so they can tailor observer restructering and by-catch control to their advantage.
Criminality?
Really, evidently you missed the corruption capitol of the United States,and the Chief Criminal of Alaska's Attorney General's Office.
Lance Nelson, who couldent get job, win a case or save the state a 100 million +
Oh but wait, love his Chignik Co-op Classic Too, or those Yakutat Criminal Civil Right's Violations, shown best in his Ku Klux Act Cases?
What a CLASSIC!
Pleading that the Department of Law's ran by the idiots, who elected the same!
The latest plea, now 35 years old, from the dumbest Governor in Alaska History Jay Hammond, another outsider, who couldent make it in the real world, just like every Alaskan.
The Ku Klux Act of 1871, just a couple years after Sewards Folly!

Is that you TG? Go blog on another website. Your rantings are getting old and no longer make sense. Is your life on Whidbey getting to you!
Of course it don't make sense, on Whidbey Island 1st grade readng comprehension is required to become a State Lawyer, a Board of Fish member, or a Governor too.
Why is the word NO, such as confusing subject matter.
§ 15. No Exclusive Right of FisheryNo exclusive right or special privilege of fishery shall be created or authorized in the natural waters of the State. This section does not restrict the power of the State to limit entry into any fishery for purposes of resource conservation, to prevent economic distress among fishermen and those dependent upon them for a livelihood and to promote the efficient development of aquaculture in the State. [Amended 1972]
Of course the enforcement mechanism, for those confused with the Constitution of Alaska's Term
"No exclusive right or special privilege..."

What Yakutat case are you referring to? Your history lessons and quotes, are hard to make sense out of at times.
Since this is about waters OUTSIDE of Alaska, many of these posts are irrelevant and not worth decifering.
Somebody is really confused! You have already forgot the legacy that Uncle Ted left for Alaskans in rural communities. You guys down south have been carpet bagging Alaskans for years, you take everything and give us nothing! As for Hyder, he is a good man; but you misconstrue the power Council members really have. The Department of Commerce, the political power structures vertical and horizontal control the resources. No decisions are made from the Council mean anything without the Secretaries signature. Commercial fishermen and the Alaskan crewmen have been constantly displaced by IFQ's, CDQ's and CEQ's. We have become a Walmart of the sea. Hire cheap and build a big box store that houses the floating goods. Somebody is winning here and I can attest to you that they DON'T LIVE IN ALASKA and if they do corner the resource and the rewards they are already packed and headed for a much warmer climate the AK,WA or OR!!!!
Be careful. If we get Washington State too mad at us they will go ahead and charge a port fee on every container leaving Wahsington ports. This will in effect be a heavy tax on every single Alaskan going to fill the Wahsington State budget deficit. They decided not to do it last time when we protested. This time they might just say "screw you too!" to Alaska.
So they threaten Alaska - how about Alaska build their port infrastructure to allow for heavy container deliveries and not have to deal with WA politics or budget problems. Keep the dollar in Alaska for Alaskans.
Has anyone seen the Port of Anchorage lately? Pilings are still failing and the 50's 60's trolley cranes are antiques! Check out Horizon's stock, 35 cents?! We are hostage to Washington and Los Angeles. The JONES act keeps it tight but it is Washington State that makes the revenue. You are right, they can increase the container fee and then the unions will increase their hold in both Ak and Washington. The Alaskan consumer, buying groceries for their families pay the extra price. The Port expansion is a billion dollars away!!
How in the hell do you think anchorage is going to get port work done if we can't get an ice dock in Kodiak? Free enterprise encouragement? Nope! It isn't the longshoremen who are killing us. Its continued corporate control of our resources by companies that are from out of state. Unfortunately, there are too many of us still willing to vote against our best interests and continue to tow the corporate line EVERY TIME we support people like Don young. Just a thought.
Money hungry people tend to forget about the poor, those who live off the land, waters and sea just to put food on their table for their children and elders. Money hungry people always want a bigger share.
