Salmon Areas To
Be Closed Tight
Next Season
WASHINGTON, — (>P) —The
Fish and Wildlife Service was
disclosed today to have given con
sideration to closing completely
large portions of the pink salmon
fishing areas in southeastern Al
aska next year.
Albert M. Day, director of the
service, so testified before the
House subcommittee on interior
department appropriations. He
said in testimony made public
today the move was considered
in hope of rehabilitating the pink
salmon run.
“Alaska salmon, particularly the
pinks, are in bad shape,” he tes
tified. “The runs have been down
the past several years and the
prospects for the next two years
are not at all encouraging. The
situation, in fact, is so serious that
consideration has been given to
complete closure of large portions
of the pink salmon fishing ter
ritory in the southeastern Alaska
next year in hope of rehabilitat
ing the runs.”
We feel a great deal of trouble
is due to over-fishing. Industry
itself has urged increased efforts
toward enforcement in order that
the maximum protection may be
given this important fishery.”
Day told the committee the am
ounts asked for fisheries protec
tion in Alaska falls far short of
the needs. He said British Colum
bia spends more to protect its
fisheries than the United States
does to protect Alaskan fisheries.
He said Washington State, with
only 1,000 miles of shoreline com
pared to Alaska’s 10,000 miles,
spends $624,000 annually to pro
tect its fisheries compared to $619,
000 spent in Alaska by the fed
eral government. Oregon, with
one-twenty-third as much shore
line to patrol spends more than
half as much as the governmtnt
does on Alaska.
Day said the service has had
many reports of increased hunt
ing pressure of Alaska wildlife
which is decreasing the game.
‘‘Game, in Alaska, is in a des
perate situation,” he testified.
He urged the committee to in
crease appropriations for protect
ing fish and game in the territory.
He said the money is needed if
fish and game of the territory are
to be given the protection they
deserve.
