From the transcript
We touched on this a bit, but I pledge to work with the next governor, whoever it is, to appoint the right people to the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council. We just can't have any more commercial or trawling ties on that, on that council. So we do need to push for Alaskan water changes. So out to 3 miles, trawling is simply not in the best interest of Alaskans. I think we've all heard that.
