Alaska fishermen respond to judge's decision on troll fishery - Taku 105

Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - On May 2, U.S. District Court Judge Jones submitted his decision to adopt U.S. Magistrate Judge Michelle Peterson’s recommended order to suspend Southeast Alaska’s Chinook troll fishery. The closure is driven by the Wild Fish Conservancy’s claim that Southeast’s troll fishery poses harm to Washington’s Southern Resident Killer Whale population.
