No Perspective
Fishermen in Alaska are ruining their livelihood by
illegal fishing.
A case in commissioner’s court this week in which'
three men were found guilty of fishing in the mouth of aj
stream, in an area closed by the Fish and Wildlife Service i
because of insufficient escapement, and of fishing on Sunday,
is one of numerous instances that point up the apparent!
tshort-sightedness of many fishermen.
Some will argue that they must fish illegally because
others do, that if they are to make a living they too must
“make a run up the crick’’.
Conservation programs, sponsored by the territory and
t;he Department of the Interior, are futile in the face of such
selfishness and lack of perspective on the part of the fisher
men.
Illegal fishing and the growing number of fishing
vessels in all areas are contributing to the complete extinc
tion of one of Alaska’s greatest industries.
The time to conserve and provide for a future supply of
salmon is now. Every fisherman can insure his income and
guarantee his family’s security if he will abide by the FWS
regulations.
He may make less this year, but he insures his income
:-for future years.
