Stevens seeks ban on foreign fishing off Alaska shores
Senator Ted Stevens introduces a Senate resolution urging the President to use executive order to declare U S fisheries jurisdiction over waters east of the Diomede Islets to Attu Island and to impose a moratorium on non-U S fishing in the Bering Sea and North Pacific. He cites Japan's Arctic economic moves and recent Alaska industry acquisitions as justification. The package pairs with other bills on expanding U S fisheries protections.

Bristol Bay Salmon Runs To Be Managed For Maximum Escapement
Juneau Alaska Board of Fish and Game adopts policy to manage Bristol Bay and Alaska Peninsula red salmon for maximum escapement citing weak 1974 Bristol Bay sockeye run and heavy Japanese harvests. Emergency orders will restrict fishing time to protect escapement targets of about 9.5 million versus an expected five million red salmon in 1974.
