Alaska commercial fishing news and notes

strongly suspect he will work for a dragger company after retirement.
Not draggers. You obviously don't know Jim.
I testified in Kodiak for the 2012 halibut PSC bycatch reduction action. Jim repeatedly tried to shift the topic to the directed fishery bycatch in follow up questions. During the testimony's he also tried to obfuscate any good points the pro-bycatch reduction people made. Jim was no friend of sustainable fisheries, he was a fried of the big money draggers and processors. He will get paid, just like Chris Oliver.
Balsiger will have "post employment" rules to follow.
He was a Senior Executive and will have restrictions.
