How Has Egan Leadership
Helped Alaska Meet Its Obligations
Regarding
FISHERIES
During These First
Years of Statehood?
ALASKA’S WATERS DEFENDED. Governor
Egan’s determined action against the Japanese
fishing fleet in Shelikof Strait has caused Federal
. officials to take a long hard look at their policies
with regard to the North Pacific fishery and their
obligation to defend the interests of conservation.
FISH TRAPS ELIMINATED. In his first major
action upon assuming office, Governor Egan ban
ned the operation of fish traps in Alaska’s waters.
As a result of this long-sought move, nearly 400
traps were shut down which previously had
accounted for nearly 45% of Alaska’s annual
salmon harvest. These fish now are taken by
individual fishermen and mean added money in
the pockets of Alaskans.
FISHERIES CONFERENCE CALLED. Alert to
the urgent problems of the fishing industry, Gov
ernor Egan called the first coast-wide conference
of fisheries biologists ever held. Results were such
that the Governor of Washington State has called
a second conference to be held in Seattle to further
the progress begun at the Alaska meeting.
FISHERIES HARVEST INCREASES. Through
the realistic and flexible fisheries management
policies initiated under the Egan administration,
Alaska's annual salmon pack has increased from
low of 1.770,795 cases in 1959 the last vear of
Federal control, to 3,211,962 cases in 1961, and
more than 3,400.000 cases this year. During the
same period, annual take of king crab, shrimp and
other shellfish has increased sharply.
RESIDENT FISHERMEN PROTECTED. Gov
ernor Egan has strongly represented the interests
of ,esident Alaska fishermen. An example of this
was his personal appeal to canners and packers at
Seattle last soring, resulting in a 40% reduction
’n the amount of Outside gear in Bristol Bay.
HERE IS A COMMON SENSE PROGRAM,
ONE BASED ON ALASKA'S CAPACITY TO
GROW AND EXPAND
