Local Governments react to NPFMC’s decision to close the EEZ

Last week the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly and the Kenai City Council passed resolutions asking the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to veto the North Pacific Fishery Management Council’s recommendation of Alternative 4 (closing the EEZ). Both resolutions cited the harm Alternative 4 would inflict on the historic commercial salmon fishery in Cook Inlet and on the local economies.
