Update on Fisheries Meetings

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- The state Board of Fisheries meeting is winding down after two weeks of listening to public testimony and voting on proposals.
Some attendees say they are disappointed with the outcome and according to a few Mat-Su fishermen, the board is showing favoritism to commercial fisheries in the central district.
The fishermen asked the state to declare silver, red and chum salmon as stocks of concern. The Board did agree to list sockeye salmon in the Susitna and Yentna Rivers as a "stock of yield concern."
