SOUTHEAST ALASKA SEINERS ASSOCIATION
There have been suggestions that the 2025 Purse Seine fishing schedule go from a 2-days-on / 2-days-off to a 1-day-on / 1-day-off at the appropriate time of the season to improve fish quality.
The SEAS Board voted against that suggestion but is open to options on how to improve quality, and ultimately improve prices paid to purse seine fishermen.
ADF&G will have a meeting on January 7th 2025 in Ketchikan with processors, hatchery operators and SEAS Board members to talk about any changes in fishing schedules and possible solutions.
