Commercial fishing groups are pushing back against a proposed ballot initiative that would ban a sector of their industry. APRN\u2019s Alexandra Gutierrez reports.<\/em><\/div>\n

Fish politics can be messy stuff. They\u2019re complicated; they\u2019re emotional, and there\u2019s a lot of money involved. Now that a group with ties to the sportfishing lobby is trying to put the existence of the Cook Inlet setnet fishery to a vote, fish politics are being taken to their messy extreme.<\/p>\n

When the initiative application was filed last week, commercial fishing groups were mostly quiet. Now, they\u2019re issuing full-throated denunciations of the move to prohibit set-netting in urban areas. \u201cTheatrics and political games\u201d is how the United Fishermen of Alaska \u2014 or UFA \u2014 is describing it. The Alaska Salmon Alliance \u2014 another trade group \u2014 has called the initiative a \u201cpublic relations scam\u201d meant to pressure the Legislature into giving sport and personal-use fishermen more access to Kenai River king salmon.<\/p>\n
