The North Pacific Fishery Management Council approved options for limiting the Bering Sea pollock fleet’s take of chum salmon during a meeting that displayed the fault lines separating the pollock industry and Western Alaska tribes.

Alaska pollock lie on the deck of the factory trawler Northern Hawk on Aug. 6, 2023 in the Bering Sea.

During two days of testimony in Anchorage that preceded the council vote, Western Alaska tribal officials continued to advocate for tighter limits. “I am not trying to make it emotional. But it is emotional, especially when we hear from our elders or other community members from the tribal sector that because they do get to fish for chum salmon or chinook … our heritage cannot be passed down to the next generations,” said Mellisa Maktuayaq Johnson, government affairs policy director for the Arctic Yukon Kuskokwim Tribal Consortium.

In testimony, they spoke about the economic reach of the Bering Sea pollock industry in Alaska. Shore-based processing plants operate in the Aleutian Islands, and six Community Development Quota groups are allocated shares of the pollock harvest, and use their earnings to support 65 Western Alaska communities.
