This includes Station Papa, a key site in the Gulf of Alaska.
"Station Papa has been collecting ocean data since the Cold War era, making it one of the longest continuous ocean records in the North Pacific," AMCC writes in this blog post.
With ocean changes evolving rapidly and events such as salmon and crab crashes and marine heatwaves becoming more common, the group argues "we need more information about our oceans, not less."

Like AMCC cares about the science. They only care about outcomes that pad their revenue and prop up their lifestyle fisheries. Only good thing they've done in decades is the removal of their deputy ED.
I appreciate that they've coopted the Under 60 cod harvesters, CDFU, and NFPA what a win for Pew and their other funders. Are any of the fishing trade associations real anymore or are they all just NGO fronts?
Ocean monitoring is important. But it would be a lot easier to get behind this if the same NGO wasn’t routinely downplaying the impact of ocean conditions on fisheries as a means of advancing their advocacy efforts. You’d think the conservation groups would be all over the body of evidence linking ocean conditions to reduced opilio, cod and chum collapses—a case study in how changing ocean conditions need to be taken seriously. But that wouldn't align with their advocacy positions, so…
You can’t support science and research only when it’s convenient to your political strategy.
Do we think this is three draggers having a amcc hate circle jerk or just one anonymous poster pretending he has friends?
The comments reflect what AMCC has become a pawn for the political machine not an advocate of industry.
