Whenever we have a change of presidents, it's fun to speculate on who will lead the National Marine Fisheries Service, the chief agency regulating commercial fishing in America.
Deckboss can't claim to have any inside information on the Biden administration's potential choice for the job. But we've heard a few names mentioned, and here they are in no particular order:
Karen Hyun, chief of staff at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, parent agency of NMFS
Matt Strickler, secretary of natural resources and chief resilience officer for the commonwealth of Virginia
Linda Behnken, a Sitka commercial fisherman, executive director of the Alaska Longline Fishermen's Association, and tireless sustainable fisheries advocate.
