But the current attack on personal use and sport fishing by commercial users goes far beyond anything in the past. Loren Holmes photo<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>The United Cook Inlet Drift Association, a commercial fishing group that represents the Cook Inlet drift gill net fleet, and a number of its members are using the Alaska Board of Fisheries to launch an all-out attack on personal-use and sport fishing in Southcentral Alaska. A series of almost 50 proposals submitted by UCIDA to the board aim to undermine the harvest of salmon by non-commercial users.<\/p>\n<p>The BOF will meet to deliberate these proposals and others in Anchorage Jan. 31 through Feb. 13, 2014. Board involvement in Upper Cook Inlet \u201cfish wars\u2019\u2019 is nothing new. Both sport and commercial groups have aggressively sought to defend or gain catch share over the years. But UCIDA\u2019s current attack on personal use and sport fishing goes far beyond anything in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Four user groups &#8212; commercial, sport, personal use and subsistence &#8212; now compete for five species of salmon in the Inlet. The region itself is home to more than 375,000 Alaskans, or 60 percent of the state\u2019s population. The complex, mixed-stock nature\u00a0and competing user demands of the fisheries in the Inlet are unique in the state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Due to copyright law, the Alaska Salmon Alliance cannot repost full articles.
