It’s the first time the early sockeye run has met its minimum escapement since it collapsed in 2018.
The Alaska Board of Fisheries designated the early run as a stock of management concern in March as part of an agreement between the Chignik Intertribal Coalition and the Area M Seiners Association.
“The first attempt at having this, possibly, might have worked because we finally hit our lower end of our escapement goal for our early run this year and have achieved our late run escapement goal,” he said. “It’s very possible that these restrictions benefited our area and allowed for fish to escape,” he said.
“I have no doubt at all that Chignik escapement goals were met and partly with the help of those closures there,” said McCallum. “We’re dealing with a natural system and so the interception is part of it and nature’s the other part. And we do the best we can with what we’re given.” But Thompson says Area M communities also depend on salmon, and he’s wary of further fishing restrictions.
Thompson says he’s glad the Chigniks are getting a stronger return of sockeye this year, but he’s doesn’t think it is all due to the reduced harvest in Area M.
