Issues of Current Interest and Concern
This section will reflect present issues of Yukon River Drainage fishers and managers even though some of each at times may wish the particular issue did not exist. Some reports in this section are preliminary or simply letters or papers written by Yukon fishermen’s groups and/or experts in their fields. They are there as the best available at present or are one side of an ongoing investigation of a current issue in fisheries science/management. The Current Issues pages will probably change and be added to often. When one side of a controversial issue or report is presented some effort will be made to present the other, and persons with information are encouraged to send info and/or publishable comments they feel are important. Use web site Feedback form or e-mail stanzuray@netscape.net.
