Kodiak Island “Mothership” Concept
Suggested By ARA’s Tom Bischel
xvodiak Island should be re
garded as a giant mothership in
competition with other world fish
eries according to Tom Bischel,
administrator of the Area Redevel
opment Authority in Alaska.
“We of ARA are greatly inter
ested in lumber and fish type proj
ects and have high hopes for the
Kodiak area,” said Bischel who
arrived in Kodiak last Friday to
meet with the local ARA commit
tee and applicants for ARA as
sistance here. He departed Satur
day after conferring with Walter
Kraft and Roy Madsen, local ARA
officers.
Bischel explained that the ARA
administers the Accelerated Pub
lic Works Program in the state of
Alaska and is interested in train
ing programs as well as technical
assistance programs in connection
with the lumber, fishing and tour
ism industries.
“The fact that foreign nations
send fishing fleets thousands of
miles across the oceans to fish Ko
diak waters is significant in and
of itself. They are forced to at
tempt to harvest Kodiak area fish
eries with huge expensive ocean
operations,” said Bischel.
“It seems only natural that we
should consider the island of Ko
diak as being one huge mothership
capable of handling many and
varied fishing industries in compe
tition with those operated at un
doubtedly huge costs offshore,” he
added.
Bischel, who has been an Alas
kan since he was 18 years old and
lived in Spenard, sounded confi
dent that Alaskan fishermen and
industry leaders could effectively
compete with foreign fishery float
ing operations.
He pointed out that most of the
people of the world are hungry and
need the protein foods offered by
the sea. There is much that we can
look into in the way of developing
products usable by foreign peoples,
he said. Such products might
be produced from what we might
consider waste items or from things
we do not consider desirable for
our own tastes, Bischel suggested.
“We should not allow ourselves
to be put into a position of being
a wasteful nation in the midst of
a hungry world,” Bischel stated.
Bischel expressed hopes that the
new ARA legislation pending be
fore the congress would be ap
proved and pointed out that the
$1.1 million grant request for the
Marine Research Center and vessel
for Kodiak was at stake. The bill
was approved by a large margin in
the Senate last week and is to be
now reconsidered by the House
which had turned it down the prev
ious week by a slim five vote mar
gin.
Bischel is a law graduate of
Georgetown University in Wash
ington, D.C., and has an account
ing degree from Seattle University.
He expects to return to Kodiak
in about two or three weeks for
further meetings with the local
ARA committee.
