Canadian First Nations chief lays blame on Alaska catch for low Yukon salmon runs
CBC NewsEye on the Arctic
December 3, 2013
Preliminary data indicates the 2012 Chinook salmon run on the Yukon River was the worst ever. The International Yukon River Panel is meeting in Whitehorse, the capital city of Canada’s Yukon territory, this week to plan a management strategy for 2014. Federal Fisheries officials who represent Canada at the talks refuse to say how they plan to address the issue. Closed-door meetings were held Sunday and continued Monday with a public session beginning Tuesday...... http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/20131203/canadian-first-nations-chief-lays-blame-alaska-catch-low-yukon-salmon-runs
Crab chat aims to haul in stories
By Carey Restino
Homer Tribune
Dec 3rd, 2013
Back in the day, residents of Kachemak Bay pulled more than big flatfish and frisky salmon from the waters. Those who have lived on local shores for 30 years or so remember a day when it was possible to jig for crab, not to mention make a descent living from harvesting king and Tanner crabs. Those memories — as well as a tank full of tiny juvenile crab courtesy of the Seward hatchery — are the subject of an exhibit currently on display at the Pratt Museum entitled “When Crab Was King.” A community conversation to be held... http://homertribune.com/2013/12/crab-chat-aims-to-haul-in-stories/
HB 77 video draws attention
By Carey Restino
Homer Tribune
Dec 3rd, 2013
A video featuring many familiar Homer faces is circulating social media sites this week, but the faces have a disturbing feature — two strips of black tape making an “X” across their mouths.
The video is an effort to draw attention to concerns about House Bill 77, which opponents say restricts the right of Alaskans to voice opposition to State Department of Natural Resource decisions.
The proposed bill, which will be taken up again when the Alaska Legislature reconvenes in January, allows only public entities — not tribes, individuals or organizations — to apply for water reservations; a tool used to conserve fish habitat. Filmmaker and opponent of HB77 Bjorn Olson said the idea to create a film that would, “do more than preach to the choir,” came from a meeting organized by... http://homertribune.com/2013/12/hb-77-video-draws-attention/

FAIRBANKS — Golden Valley Electric Association expects to finish the purchase of a dormant Healy power plant today, a step that puts the Interior utility on pace to restart the coal-fired plant by early 2015.
GVEA President Cory Borgeson, who spoke at the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce weekly luncheon on Tuesday, said the utility will acquire the Healy No. 2 coal-fired plant from the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority for about $44 million. The deal doesn't.... http://www.newsminer.com/news/local_news/gvea-to-finish-coal-plant-deal-today/article_69f7b42c-5cc2-11e3-af8b-0019bb30f31a.html
Illahe wine pairs perfectly with salmon
Illahe 2012 Grüner Veltliner pairs perfectly with Keta salmon poached in white wine
Dec. 3, 2013 11:23 PM
Keta salmon from Alaska is still available in our area and last week, it was at a very low price at Winco when I was shopping. This salmon is probably the mildest-flavored species of salmon that I’ve tasted. According to the NOAA’s Fishwatch Food Facts, this is one of the lowest-priced salmons on the market and is a leaner, less oily salmon harvested from Alaska to Tillamook Bay. This... http://www.statesmanjournal.com/article/20131204/LIFE/312040029/Illahe-wine-pairs-perfectly-salmon
Crab fishing on hold; price keeps commercial fishermen on the docks
Thadeus Greenson/The Times-Standard
POSTED: 12/03/2013 02:36:47 AM PST
The commercial Dungeness crab fishing season in Northern California is on hold indefinitely, as fishermen and wholesale buyers continue to haggle over prices. ”We're 50 cents apart,” said local fisherman Dave Bitts. “It looks like, maybe, they just don't really want to buy crabs very bad right now, which means maybe the market is just soft. If that's the.... http://www.humboldtbeacon.com/ci_24643163/crab-fishing-hold-price-keeps-commercial-fishermen-docks

Marine Harvest, the world’s largest farmed salmon producer, does not support the introduction of genetically modified salmon and is calling for it to be labelled as GM if approved for the American market.
