Summary
Federal regulators decline to list Gulf of Alaska king salmon as endangered, citing large, genetically diverse populations. Despite concerns over climate change and other threats, state fish managers support the decision, noting no stocks are near extinction risk. A listing could have severely impacted fisheries and coastal communities. Recent trends show improvements in rivers like the Chilkat and Alsek, and the state has taken steps to address declines. Commissioner Doug Vincent-Lang and Senator Lisa Murkowski praise the decision, while the petition group reviews NOAAs review and considers next steps.
