And same question, what actions will you take to reduce salmon bycatch and its impact on Alaska's fisheries? In 1. Minute. It's mostly about the North Pacific Council, and as a legislator, I went to council meetings, I authored sign-on letters, including sign-on letters the TCC joined on Chinook and chum and halibut bycatch limits and lowering them and reducing bycatch that Alaska is suffering through in both the Bering Sea and the Gulf of Alaska. I care a lot about habitat damage too from bottom trawl gear, and that's been an issue I've really advocated on.
