BSAR member Mark Leary said that conditions are not safe enough.

There’s going to be a Tanner crab season in the Eastern Aleutians for the first time in five years, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. And while that’s great news for the fishery, only one section of the district will open — Makushin/Skan Bay, on the western side of Unalaska Island. The other two sections — Unalaska/Kalekta Bay and Akutan — will remain closed.

The board voted unanimously to postpone action on three proposals to modify the longstanding management plan. It will also delay a decision on the Department of Fish and Game’s draft action plan to protect kings.

Many people who testified on Wednesday urged the board to postpone a decision on what to do with the plan until its statewide meeting in March. They say that will give local advisory committees and the public more time to consider the plan.

The Board of Fish meeting will be streamed live from Nov. 29 - Dec. 3. Watch it here or on the Board of Fish website.
