Chapter 21 - Cook Inlet Area
Article 3 - Salmon Fishery
5 AAC 21.376 - Resurrection Bay Salmon Management Plan
Universal Citation: 5 AK Admin Code 21.376
Current through August 30, 2024
(a) Since the beginning of significant commercial harvests of pink and chum salmon in Resurrection Bay, there have been some conflicts between recreational and commercial fishermen. The issues are the protection of coho and king salmon for the recreational fishery, and the management of surplus pink and chum salmon stocks in a manner that provides for a commercial fishery while minimizing the incidental catch of coho and king salmon.
(b) The commissioner shall, by emergency order,
(1) manage Resurrection
Bay coho and king salmon stocks primarily for recreational use;
(2) manage the indigenous pink and chum
salmon stocks primarily for commercial use, insofar as that harvest does not
interfere in time or area with the recreational fishery;
(3) manage the commercial fishery in
Resurrection Bay in a manner that does not interfere with the recreational
fishery.
