Politics:
Alaska Charter Association: This state-wide association has been working on preserving
the fishing rights and resources of Alaska. This page is update often to give you information on
the latest fish politics. http://www.alaskacharter.org/
Halibut Politics: There’s been a lot of discussion these days about halibut and its future
here in Alaska. Unfortunately, halibut are being wasted as by-catch for the trawl fleet
meaning that they are catching millions of tons of them while fishing for something else and
since they can’t keep them they throw them over the side to die. You can help fight this awful
fishery by writing letters to the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council and the
International Pacific Halibut Commission. http://homerfishing.com/politics/index.html
Alaska Marine Conservation Council: The AMCC is a great organization to keep you
abreast of the Alaskan fishing issues at hand and how you can help to ensure a future for fish
in Alaska. http://www.akmarine.org/ (907) 277-5357
