NOAA Fisheries has released a draft environmental impact statement that proposes methods of reducing the number of Chinook salmon accidentally caught by Bering Sea pollock fishermen.
"The comment period ends on February 3, 2009," said Doug Mecum, Acting Administrator for the Alaska Region of NOAA Fisheries. "We hope people will take time to study the Bering Sea Chinook Salmon Bycatch Management Draft Environmental Impact Statement and give us their thoughts." Managers are seeking ways to limit the accidental salmon 'bycatch' in order to conserve Chinook salmon, maintain a healthy ecosystem, and provide maximum benefit to fishermen and communities that depend on Chinook salmon and pollock.
