CSHJR 46(RES)-BC MORATORIUM ON FISH FARMING
CHAIRMAN TORGERSON announced CSHJR 46(RES) to be up for
consideration.
MS. JEAN ELLIS, Fisheries Committee aide for Representative Peggy
Wilson, told members:
In January of this year the government of British
Columbia announced that the provincial moratorium on
fish farming would be lifted effective April 30. This
decision could have a substantial effect on the Alaskan
economy and the environment, both directly and
indirectly. So, HJR 46 strongly encourages the
government of British Columbia to reinstate the
moratorium on fish farming.
SENATOR TAYLOR moved CSHJR 46(RES) from committee with individual
recommendations.
SENATOR ELTON objected for the purpose of thanking the House for
addressing this issue as it is important.
MS. SUE ASPELUND, Cordova Fishermen United, supported CSHJR
46(RES) because it addresses many concerns that Alaskans have
about fish farming impacting our state waters.
SENATOR TAYLOR renewed his motion to move CSHJR 46(RES) from
committee with individual recommendations and zero fiscal note.
There were no objections and it was so ordered.
