Tug-of-war over salmon on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula may reach fever pitchCraig Medred
January 31, 2014
Each summer in Alaska, salmon by the millions flood into the great mixing bowl of Cook Inlet between the popular and populated Kenai Peninsula to the south and the towering, wild Aleutian Range to the north. The fish are money -- Alaska wild silver prime for the taking -- and for that reason they have come to fuel one of state's longest-running and most contentious political battles. To understand it, you have to understand the fisheries themselves.

If you follow the money, these 570 people are the major players..... http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/20140131/tug-war-over-salmon-alaskas-kenai-peninsula-may-reach-fever-pitch

Brianna Gibbs/KMXT
The city and borough have been without a fisheries analyst for more than three months now, but that might be changing soon. Last night the city council and borough assembly sat down for a joint work session and discussed the potential hire of Heather McCarty from McCarty and Associates. McCarty comes from a broad background of fishing interests and experience, including commercial salmon fishing, aquaculture work and time as a lobbyist for the trawl industry. Her background in lobbying raised a few questions from members of the public last night, including former Assemblywoman Louise Stutes. “Heather McCarty is nothing short of a well-documented lobbyist for both the processors and the trawl industry. And to bring her onboard with the idea that she will be an.... http://www.kmxt.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5427

Cordova Times |
Happy New Year, Everyone. I'm feeling a little snap in my step these days and unsure where to give credit. Is it the several minutes of daylight added to the clock each day? The temperature hitting 50 last week? Or the Seahawks headed to the supreme bowl… Why am I asking questions? I should just run with it.

The Board of Directors has finalized a Project Proposal Process whereby any interested party can submit a project or concept to CRPWSMA for consideration for funding. Project proposers may be permit-holders, municipalities, non-governmental organizations, private companies, research institutions... http://www.thecordovatimes.com/article/1405seafood-marketing
