“With any state-managed fishery, there’s, there has to be expectations that it’s going to be managed in a way that’s going to, you know, minimize effects to non-target species and, you know, stocks that are bound for other areas,” said Jennifer Hooper, the program manager for the Association of Village Council Presidents Natural Resources.
Area M has commonly been referred to as an intercept fishery, meaning that fish from other regions of Alaska pass through as they migrate through the ocean, leaving them open to commercial fishing before reaching their spawning region. “Coastal western Alaska, from Bristol Bay all the way up, you know, north past Bering Strait region, stocks are known to migrate through this area,” Hooper said.
