From the transcript
Thank you for the, the question. Um, a North Star for me on Board of Fish nominations from the governor is making sure that there's balance on the Board of Fish. Balance. And that has been the guiding principle of the Alaska Board of Fish since it was created. By the legislature that there is balance between subsistence, smort, and commercial, and all user groups have a seat at the table and are able to have a fair hearing, and that those 7 members of the board make the hard management decisions that is left to the board.
