You have to look at specifically what the federal government can do. It has to be in Alaska's best interest to reduce these interception fisheries and put in better management practices, such as counting the fish they're discarding and requiring live release of the non-target species like we do in B.C. We're spending tens of millions of dollars buying out fishing licences in British Columbia as part of the Pacific salmon strategy initiative. A lot of those licences aren't even being fished anymore. I'd argue that it would be potentially as good, or be better use of public money, to offer up the Alaskans a compensation package to move those fisheries out of the interception zones.
There is precedent for that, as I mentioned, with the way that Canada was compensated in 2008 for shutting down our west coast Vancouver Island troll fishery to reduce impacts on Washington and Oregon state populations.
There are other solutions, but I suspect we're running out of time here.
