Ever been to Bristol bay? I have worked there.
2&1/2 months of plenty when the fish are running, the rest of the year is cloaked in depression, alcoholism, dependency and suicide.
The folks that live there need year round jobs!
Fished the Bay, False Pass, Cordova, Southeast - 30 years.
Killing off the salmon runs with the run off will not do anyone any good. alcoholism, dependency and suicide is a way of life for much of AK regardless of jobs.
