Evidently some commercial fishermen in Oregon, specifically crabbers who fish the Bering Sea, are feeling threatened.
Here's a resolution signed yesterday by the mayor of Newport, Ore., supporting the addition of two more Oregon seats on the North Pacific Fishery Management Council, which regulates federal fisheries off Alaska.
As it stands, Oregon has only one seat on the 11-member council, while Alaska has six seats and Washington three.
The Newport resolution raises fears that Oregon crabbers might soon lose some of their annual crab income due to the "unfair partisan conduct" of the council's Alaska majority.
Deckboss isn't quite sure what to make of this, but of course he'll endeavor to find out more.

Attention crab boat crewmen
Are you a crab boat crewman interested in learning more on how to buy and finance Bering Sea crab quota share?
Well, here's your chance.
A workshop on the topic is planned for May 3 in Seattle's Leif Erikson Hall. Here's a flier with more details.
"We have also reserved the Fishermen's Hall in Kodiak and will have a teleconference line set up," says Edward Poulsen, executive director of the trade association Alaska Bering Sea Crabbers.
The workshop is intended to "educate crew regarding opportunities to purchase and finance crab quota share," Poulsen says. "Crew and owners are encouraged to attend."
