when you have the state on your side you can do whatever you want
The opinion said the state and others who were part of the appeal established a sufficient likelihood that certain and substantial impacts of the lower court’s decision “outweigh the speculative environmental threats.” The ruling will allow the fishery to continue while the appeals court considers the lawsuit more broadly.
The ruling “recognized the absurdity of closing down a vital economic industry for an issue that is already being remedied by the federal government,” Alaska Attorney General Treg Taylor said in a statement. “Thanks to the 9th Circuit, fishing season is on come July 1.”

Now our local NGO groups are going after commercial industry customers, and the ocean wise label certification. Very targeted wording.
"Wild salmon are part of who we are and are especially vital for Indigenous communities. Dwindling salmon stocks also affect our ecosystems, starving our bears, eagles and other wildlife. "

Send sustainable seafood verifiers a message about 'Alaskan' salmon
In 2022 fishers in Southeast Alaska killed 2.1 Canadian #wildsalmon. Many from endangered populations. Don't buy Alaskan seafood. And, tell @MSCbluefish to de-certify Southeast Alaskan salmon fisheries

will be interesting to see if the seattle fishmongers carry it my guess it will be business as normal for them.

They’re already under pressure from the resident Orca huggers—-local restaurants are getting shamed into pulling chinook from their menus...the Alaska/BC dynamic is not even on the radar screen...it’s all about the starving Orcas and getting them more salmon to eat

Seattle chef Renee Erickson takes chinook salmon off menus to help ailing Puget Sound orcas
With so many other local fish possibilities, it just felt wrong to take chinook out of orcas’ mouths, says the Seattle chef.

Ridiculous
Rare southern resident orcas are not in whale-watchers’ sights | Op-Ed
The southern resident orcas are not the only ones in local waters. There are Bigg's orcas, as well as gray, minke and humpback whales, all doing well.

Bycatch Is Killing Legendary Alaskan Fishing
Commercial trawl bycatch is decimating Alaska's king salmon and halibut. Regulators are struggling with a path forward.

An Alaska hook-and-line Chinook fishery has been pitted against endangered orcas. Can both survive?
Fisheries up and down the West Coast are allocated fish for harvest each season to ensure sustainability of the populations. Southern residents get what’s left.
