Curb on Catches
A resolution was presented to
jhe Legislative Council calling for
limiting the catch of king crab by
the State Fish and Game Com
mission.
The need for such legislation, it
was pointed out, was to safeguard
rhe future of crab fishing and
packing. In presenting the resolu
tion, Jack Hinckel stated: “The
crab industry is a-major item in
our economy, and it appears that
several previously productive
areas may have been already over
h'shed to depletion.”
Bob Resoff, Superintendent of
King Crab, Inc., who drafted the
resolution, stated that a limit be
set on the crab similar to the clam
fake at Swikshak. He stated the
Cook Inlet was “very abundant”
fwo years ago and is now a failure.
“Here on Kodiak Island,” he said,
“we see both Marnot Bay and
Chiniak Bay falling off in King
Crab catch, due, we believe, to
heavy takes in past seasons. At
present we have one productive
bay which is Alitak. With all the
eatch taken out of that bay and no
limit set on it, we feel it too will
toil as the others are doing.”
The resolution concluded by
emphasizing that the king crab
industry was essential to the
economy of Kodiak Island. With
unlimited crab catches, crabs are
hauled to other towns. “We feel
that regulation of catch would be
the most practical way of safe
guarding the future of crab fish
ing.”
Other resolutions presented by
the Chamber urged the drafting of
legislation authorizing assistance
to a Museum here. This resolution,
drafted for the Kodiak Historical
Society by William Lamme, point
ed out the necessity for the pre
servation of artifacts, and the need
for the establishment of an ade
quate musem.
“Alaska is at a point of metam
orphosis,” the resolution stated,
“where policies and regulations
must be considered with care and
foresight so that the growth and
development of the new unit will
be complete in all respects, and
balanced in all the needs of its
citizens, culturally as well as
materially and politically.”
It was brought out :n the resolu
tion that financial aid is restrict
ed to only one institution, the one
at Juneau. The Society asked that
this aid be broadened to include
the museum here, so that “the pro
gram may be carried out on a
scale more commensurate with
the size, and more important, the
needs of the new State of Alaska.”
Two other resolutions dealt with
the transfer of the Griffin Mem
orial Hospital property to the
Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart.

expressed by the people of Kodiak
