Show Notes
The Aleutians East Borough has filed an ethics complaint against Board of Fisheries member Curtis Chamberlain, alleging he violated rules by voting on Area M salmon fishery restrictions while working as an attorney for Calista Corporation, a Native group advocating for those same restrictions. The vote, which favored tighter limits, was made at a contentious February meeting on Alaska Peninsula salmon management. Critics argue Chamberlains role created a conflict of interest, as Calistas shareholders are affected by low chum salmon returns in Western Alaska rivers. The decision has sparked concerns about its impact on fishing-dependent communities economies. The Department of Law is reviewing the complaint under Alaskas Ethics Act, with no set timeline for investigations.
