United Fisherman of Alaska’s Semi-Annual Board Meeting

United Fisherman of Alaska held their semi-annual board meeting in Juneau last week and invited me to speak with them.  I met with those in      attendance on Wednesday, February 17, 2016 to discuss issues and legislation important to their industry.  Hearing their timely concerns helps me in  discussions with my colleagues, state agencies, and the Governor.  Fishing is an industry particularly important to our district and coastal Alaska and I  regularly work on fishing issues as a member of the Senate Resources Committee.  It was good to see involvement and attendance from familiar faces in  the room from Southeast Alaska.
