The MeatEater Podcast · Ep. 864: Is Trawling Destroying Alaska's Fisheries? · 20 Apr 2026 podcast

And right now we don't have that.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

So Alaska doesn't open primary.

So right now we have, I think, 19 people that have put their name in the hat.

God, no.

So 19 people have put their name in the hat, and I think we've heard from half of them that have taken essentially an anti-trawl stance.

Correct, yeah, and independent.

Correct.

And so that is what has got trawl through the roof because those governor candidates, when they say they're against trawl, they don't have to say that they're going to shut it down tomorrow.

All they have to do is say that they're just not going to put trawlers on this regulatory board anymore, or at least not a majority of them.

And just that simple threat is enough to put

to have the hackles way up on trawl.

And that's why we're hearing about this so much.

Absolutely.

They don't think they can continue to win and they don't think they can continue to catch the volume of fish anymore.

If somebody besides trawlers start to regulate the fishery in a more common sense way.

So, and I think there's a good chance that that is where we're headed is that we're going to have a Democrat and an independent and a Republican governor that have all said,

Hey, we're going to, we're going to put different people on this regulatory council and, and what shakes out, shakes out.

Well, we'd have to, so we've actually seen that start to happen some.
