Dunleavy was answering this question from Juneau troller Tom Fisher during Talk of Alaska on Tuesday: 'Will the state commit all resources necessary to take this court case to Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals? And if necessary, the Supreme Court?”
Alaska’s governor says he’ll appeal a pending federal court ruling that threatens to shut down the Southeast king salmon season.
In barest terms, the proposed remedy to correct this alleged oversight by the NMFS involves shutting down the Southeast Alaska salmon troll fishery until the full impact of the chinook harvest on Southern Resident killer whales can be assessed. Although the state joined the lawsuit, it’s been relatively quiet about the case. That changed on Tuesday morning when Juneau troller Tom Fisher posed the question directly to Gov. Dunleavy on Alaska Public Media’s “Talk of Alaska.”
“We very much appreciate the governor’s conviction on pursuing this lawsuit to the end,” said Amy Daugherty, director of the Alaska Trollers Association. “You know, it’s just so frivolous, and so harmful to all of Southeast and our way of life here. So it’s such good news.”filed suit three years ago.
