“We all thought we were going to be fishing, but we all understand why we aren’t fishing,” said Kevin Abena, the secretary and treasurer for the Kodiak Crab Alliance Cooperative, which represents permit holders in the fishery. “So, we’re just waiting.” Nearly 130 vessels are registered for Kodiak’s Tanner crab fishery, which has the bulk of this year’s harvest, too.
