In announcing the task force, Sen. Sullivan said: “Our existing management system, with the state’s authority to manage Alaska’s salmon harvest and the federal government managing federal fishery salmon harvest and much of the at-sea research, has created a clear gap in research and research prioritization that urgently needs to be addressed.”has filed an emergency petition with the U.S. secretary of commerce to eliminate chinook salmon bycatch and cap the number of chums taken by trawl gear.
