Alaskans Voice Opposition to Dunleavy Administration s Proposed Changes to Water Reservations System
Tuesday PM (SitNews) Juneau, Alaska - Tribes, fishermen and Alaskans have voiced extensive concerns over the Dunleavy Administration’s efforts to unduly restrict the rights of Alaskans in holding water reservations to protect our fisheries and water-dependent ways of life.
Alaska’s Department of Natural Resources proposed major changes to the state’s water reservations systems to favor resource development over the protection of fisheries, recreation or municipal uses. The proposed changes are an attempt to silence Alaskans’ voices in protecting the waters that provide the food, culture, recreation, and income we depend on. The changes would continue to allow and prioritize industrial interests to hold water rights and take water from Alaskan streams, but would not allow Alaska Native Tribes, community organizations, individuals or even the Al
Tour operators from Breakaway Charters in Petersburg in 2017. The state Department of Fish and Game allocated 27 percent of the funding to the charter fleet and lodges.

Alaska s plan to pay out nearly $50 million to the fishing industry for pandemic relief has been approved by the federal government. It really was a balance between getting the funds out quickly and developing a spending plan with the input of affected fishery participants, Alaska Department of Fish & Game Deputy Commissioner Rachel Baker said.
Final details were released Thursday. Commercial applicants will need to show the COVID-19 pandemic caused them at least a 35 percent loss in revenue last year. Applications will be accepted during a two-month window opening March 1. Payment could come as early as June.
Santa Barbara, California, the United States On a recent winter’s evening in Santa Barbara Harbor, seafood distributors Gabriel Sosa and Tony Escalante lifted large containers crawling with California spiny lobsters off of the boats of local fishermen and onto a wharf to be weighed before placing them into large, water-filled containers in the back of a white truck.
At the end of the night’s work, Sosa estimated the truck contained around 1,360kg (3,000 pounds) of the crustaceans, which lack the iconic claws of their New England counterparts but are prized for the sweetness of their meat.
Since it became home to California’s first lobster fishery in the early 1870s, the coastal city of Santa Barbara has established a long and proud history of lobster fishing. The industry is now experiencing a surge in demand because of a trade war between nations that are thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean.
