Comment from Christopher Attwood

Unfairly limiting Alaskan statewide salmon trolling permits to fish only from the Canadian border to Cape Suckling is a political move initiated and perpetuated in the special interest of other gear groups. Trollers are small operations that are efficient at targeting specific species unlike the vessels that are now allowed to operate west of Cape Suckling that have large by-catch wastage, decimating prime fisheries. Permitting smaller salmon troll vessels in Statewide waters would create jobs, encourage small business, and efficiently use existing salmon resources. America would greatly benefit from allowing their entrepreneurs to flourish
