FISHING LAWS
FOR ALASKA
. INADEQUATE
"As a result of the hearings the
consensus of opinion was that the
salmon supply in Alaska was being
depeated rapidly, and that no ade
quate means were being taken for
its maintenance; that there was im
mediate necessity for action toward
concensus of opinion was that the
■troyed,” said Charles D. arfield, mem
ber of the territorial fish commis
sion, who attended the recent Seattle
fisheries conference.
“The remedial measures proposed,”
continued Mr. Garfield, “include:
“1. The absolute closing of all
salmon spawning streams to fishing
and the enforcement of adequate clos
ing provisions.
"2. So curtailing the catch of
salmon in the outer waters as to al
low sufficient fish to enter the streams
to spawn to keep up the normal sup
ply. This means regulating and lim
iting of gear of all kinds, including
fish traps, and strict enforcement of
rules up to the confiscation of appli
ances.
"3. Supplementing nature’s work in
maintenance of supply by such arti
ficial means as experience has proven
effective, and the undertaking of ex
perimental work along new lines.
‘‘4. Clearing the spawning streams
of all obstructions to the ascent of
spawning fish and by removing the
natural barriers from likely water
courses, increasing the spawning
area.
“5. A well-organized and active plan
of destruction of all the enemies of
the salmon.
“The present laws are insufficient
and inadequate to cover the situation
presented. It is desirable and neces
sary that new legislation providing for
a comprehensive and equitable man
agement of the whole matter, adjust
ing the differences between contend
ing interests, citizenship of fishermen,
licensing of all fishermen, gear, boats,
etc., such penalties as wTill be suffi
cient and drastic enough to reduce
violations to the minimum. The con
ference favored federal control of the
fisheries, as at present, but that the
immediate government and regulation
be under the direction of three com
missioners to be resident in the prin
cipal fishing districts of Western,
Southern and Southeastern Alaska,
each having particular jurisdiction
over his home district and the three
aiding together as a board for gen
eral management and control.
"To bring about the adjustment of
all questions relating to the salmon
fisheries, this conference was called,
and it was attended by representa
tives of the different interests and re
sulted in the election of an executive
committee charged with the drafting
of a law to cover the whole situation.
“The committee is to meet in Seat
tle for the purpose of working out
the problems before it. When it has
completed plans for legislation the
same are to be submitted for the ap
proval of all concerned, it being vital
to the success of the program that a
united effort of all the various inter
ests be put forth if the desired result
is to be obtained.”
