A federal judge issued an order Tuesday that appears to close an iconic Southeast Alaska salmon fishery for at least the summer, threatening hundreds of jobs and a $30 million industry. Via Northernjournal
Orcas swim off the west coast of Vancouver Island near Port Renfrew, B.C., in 2018.
But the ruling wasn’t final until Tuesday, when a Seattle-based federal district judge, Richard Jones, issued a “I’m in a mild state of shock,” said Amy Daugherty, executive director of the Alaska Trollers Association, which intervened as a defendant in the lawsuit. “Of course we are disappointed.” The order from Jones does not explicitly call for the closing of the summer Chinook fishery. Instead, it vacates a key federal authorization that allowed the state of Alaska to open the fishery without violating the Endangered Species Act.
Trollers typically fish alone or with a single deckhand on their small boats, and most live in communities across Southeast Alaska. Their harvests also help sustain processing plants and processing jobs around the region.
