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.
