General Information
The 22nd Alaska State Legislature has convened a task force to
address the crisis facing the salmon industry.
The Task Force has met twice to continue
organizational work, including selection of subcommittee members. On
September 15-16 the Task Force and the additional public members of
the sub-committees will meet to receive briefings and discuss the
“straw man” issues. These issues will be further discussed during
public hearings that will be held around the state this fall and
winter, and at Fish Expo in Seattle.
The Task Force has been charged with the responsibility to submit a
report to the Legislature by January 31, 2003.

economy.
