Coming Thursday

A new report titled "The Economic Importance of the Bristol Bay Salmon Industry" is scheduled for release at 10 a.m. Thursday.

Deckboss is told that "independent researchers" at the University of Alaska's Institute of Social and Economic Research wrote the report.

The outfit releasing it, however, is an ardent opponent of — you guessed it — the Pebble mine. That would be the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association.

Thursday's planned telepress conference will feature these participants: Scott Goldsmith, an ISER economist and co-author of the report; Johnathan Hillstrand, captain of the "Deadliest Catch" crab boat Time Bandit, which doubles as a salmon tender at Bristol Bay; John Garner, vice president of top Bristol Bay processor Trident Seafoods; Katherine Carscallen, a Bristol Bay fisherman; and Bob Waldrop, executive director of the BBRSDA.
