Peltola, in an email blast from the Democratic National Committee, declared: "My agenda for Alaska will always be: fish, family, freedom."
She further said: "Multinational companies are trawling our waters and decimating our fish stocks."
Sullivan has served in the Senate since 2015 and likewise has shown considerable interest in fisheries, often referring to Alaska as a "superpower of seafood."
Go Mary! Dan has been nothing but a cut and paste from the Trump swamp of DC. He does not represent Alaska. He does not represent fisherman. In fact, he doesn’t represent.
ReplyDeleteGo Mary! Go get Trump's yes man Dan out of there!
ReplyDeleteYes Sullivan is a friend of Trump but is Mary a friend of the commercial fisherman? Antitrawl retoric easily slips into anti commercial fishing talk when it comes to subsistence access... You know who has bad salmon by catch numbers? Salmon fishermen
ReplyDeleteTrawling isn't fishing, so the anti trawl rhetoric ( you can't spell or catch a fish by the mouth apparently) is fine.
DeleteWhat an arrogant and short sighted take.
DeleteI'd spend less time worrying about my spelling and more time figuring out which blog you’re on. This isn't some Facebook group for pukers who fish twice a year and blame their bad luck on trawlers a thousand miles away. Commercial fishing isn’t like your pronouns. You don’t get to make up a definition you 'identify' with

ReplyDeletefor the last 25 years, I've fished full time in Alaska and Washington State for about 160 days a year on a small commercial boat, So I do get to make up who I identify with and its not bottom trawlers. you can back to your safe space in your mom basement in Newport with a tin foil hat, snowflake..
Oh, do you participate in the Gulf halibut fishery that discarded 10 million pounds of halibut or the SE salmon fishery that catches 50k kings as bycatch?
DeleteOr do you participate in the trawl fishery that has destroyed most of the bottom habitat in the Bering Sea?
ReplyDeleteWhere is the evidence for that? Less than 3.5% of the Bering sea shows any impacts from trawling. I guarantee you only get your info off Facebook.
