Alaska commercial fishing news and notes
Although we all regret any take of marine mammals intentionally or unintentionally, none of these killer whales were taken in state waters.
The orca bycatch was in waters managed by NPFMC. The governor of Alaska appoints the majority of the council members so is responsible for orca and bycatch of halibut, salmon, etc. In the federal waters off Alaska.
