Coming up this week: the fall chum run on the Yukon has started, and managers are expecting it to be strong; NOAA has a new plan to address the problem of the charter industry constantly exceeding their harvest limits; and the lessons learned from the ammonia leak at a Sitka cannery. We had help from KUAC’s Dan Bross in Fairbanks, KBBI’s Marcia Lynn in Homer, CoastAlaska’s Ed Schoenfeld in Juneau, and KCAW’s Ed Ronco and Robert Woolsey in Sitka.
Jay Barrett is the news director at KMXT in Kodiak.
