It depends on the fishery. There is increasing uncertainty across fisheries due to changing ocean conditions. Two years ago I would have said that our fishery in the north Pacific was largely healthy. Last year, many of our salmon runs across the state failed to return in meaningful numbers. At the same time we suffered an 80% decline in the cod total allowable catch in the Gulf of Alaska. That's due largely to that warm blob of water that went through the entire water column and would not move. Our halibut fishery is suffering from a 10- to 12-year decline, largely with the exploitable biomass. That means there's a lot of halibut out there, but they're not growing like they should.
We do have concerns; we do have challenges. Things are changing and changing rapidly. At the same time, there are changes in our state budgets and federal budgets that affect how well we can manage our fisheries. I certainly don't have a silver bullet and I would caution against any sort of single solution in terms of management that can meet the needs or solve the complex challenges along an entire coast.
