That's a 20 percent drop from last season's quota of 9.1 million pounds.

Everyone's favorite unobserved Trawl fishery in one of Alaska 's most economically important recreational and commercially important areas
How many of the thousands of rec and commercial boats have observers?
Second worst thing to happen to PWS after the Exxon Valdez.
What a hilarious comment. Tell me how the impacts from this fishery are greater than any other.
Interesting that several Cordova gillnetters testified in support of this fishery. Apparently they believe catching some of the pollock will decrease predation on salmon.
The pollock fishery in PWS has no observers or cameras.
You didn't answer my question.
The $800k in ex-vessel value made off this fishery which seems to piss off a bunch of local Alaskans isn’t worth the political capital they lose operating a trawl fishery in PWS. These guys can’t seem to read the room can they?
The vessels that fish in PWS are Alaskan. The entire pollock fishery in PWS catches less kings than the average single charter vessel (harvested by non-Alaskans). Is there something unique about the impact from the 800 trawl caught kings versus the 40k charter caught kings (who also have no observers and voluntary reporting)?
Seems like the entire PWS fishing fleet came out in support of the pollock fishermen at the last BOF meeting and the communities that initially supported the $almon$tate proposal dropped their support. The only two that spoke in favor were rich, born-out-of-state kids from salmonstate that want to turn Alaska into a wildlife refuge and have never been on the deck of a boat (grumpy and gremlin; can't remember their real names). I know that's not Tim writing the comment because the grammar is too good. Is that you grumpy?
