I believe, as we saw Monday (March 24), we can have productive dialogues and stay above the fray,\u201d she said at the start of the March 26 session.<\/p>\n<p>In the opening presentation, Kenai City Manager Rich Koch said ADFG is ignoring the city\u2019s rights under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation Act and advertises sensitive city-owned land as open to dipnetters.<\/p>\n<p><em>Due to copyright law, the Alaska Salmon Alliance cannot repost full articles.
