Three appointed to North Pacific Council seats

The commerce secretary has appointed John Moller and Brian Ritchie to the North Pacific Fishery Management Council, and has reappointed Anne Vanderhoeven to a second term.

Moller and Ritchie were Gov. Mike Dunleavy's top picks for Alaska seats on the council, which has 11 voting members and helps regulate commercial fisheries off Alaska.

The Vanderhoeven reappointment to a Washington seat is notable in that Gov. Jay Inslee had named Becca Robbins Gisclair, of the Ocean Conservancy, as his top choice. The governor did, at least, include Vanderhoeven on his list of recommendations. Vanderhoeven is government affairs director for trawl company Arctic Storm.

    Becca Robbins Gisclair might yet win a seat on the North Pacific Council. Gov. Inslee has nominated her for the seat held by Kenny Down, who died in May. Here's the nomination letter:
