Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Alaska depends to a great extent on its commercial fisheries. They have been ongoing for over 100 years.
As we focus on preserving and prevention--actually I was very intrigued by the conversation that was just going on here.
The sustainability of the fisheries is what provides the predictability of the future for industry and for communities.
