## Resource

Senator Dan Sullivan, long a staunch defender of Alaska’s seafood industry, has stunned observers by backing a controversial new bill that critics say contradicts his science-based, pro-fisheries record. Touted as a bycatch reduction effort, the legislation is being pushed by environmental groups and sport-fishing lobbies — a sharp departure from Sullivan’s usual allies. The bill mandates policy changes without waiting for scientific results, risks increasing salmon bycatch, and lacks ties to his own Salmon Research Task Force. With his opponent now targeting fishing practices in their campaign, Sullivan’s pivot raises alarms that this political maneuver could undermine Alaska’s globally respected fisheries management system — and the very communities it serves.
