| + | == Gulf ratz discussion continues == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>The North Pacific Fishery Management Council heard several hours of public perspectives today on a future Gulf of Alaska bycatch management action. | ||
| + | The details have yet to be worked out, but the council will look at several proposals as it makes its way down a path toward eventual action. | ||
| + | The council has enacted king salmon bycatch caps for the pollock and non-pollock trawl fleets in the gulf, and the fishing industry has asked for tools to aid in meeting those caps. | ||
| + | But the council will have to overcome several challenges if it institutes a catch share program for the trawl fleet,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Bulls-1-Rose-Black-Women-Jerseys-21358/ Bulls 1 Rose Black Women Jerseys], including issues of state and federal jurisdiction, community protections, and how to even award quota. | ||
| + | An industry working group brought forward their proposal,[http://www.hybaoyang.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=25521 ], which primarily address rationalization of the fishery as the means for bycatch reduction. | ||
| + | The Alaska Marine Conservation Council suggested Community Fishing Associations as a way to involve communities in the fisheries. | ||
| + | Trident Seafoods Joe Plesha presented a paper that suggests including quota in a rationalization program. The path suggested for doing so would award processors some quota, to use as they see fit. | ||
| + | Pacific Seafoods Mike Okoniewski talked about how a similar effort has worked in the whiting fishery. | ||
| + | The council also heard from the public on various aspects of a potential program, as well as feedback on the proposals made so far. | ||
| + | The Peninsula Fisherman s Coalition s representative Beth Stewart spoke against the Community Fishing Associations as proposed, and questioned whether community politics should play a role in assigning quota, although she agreed that healthy communities are dependent on the fisheries being discussed. | ||
| + | Representatives from Kodiak, including city council member Terry Haines, talked about the need to represent a community in any action, and noted that a community includes the people who live in a fishery-dependent community as well as all the people involved in harvesting and processing the fish. | ||
| + | Another challenge in a rationalized fishery is who manages it. Some industry representatives asked that the state and federal government come to an agreement on just one manager for the Gulf, particularly in the pollock fishery. | ||
| + | The pollock don t know the difference between two and three miles from shore, and fishermen need the ability to follow the fish as they swim around, said United Catcher Boats Brent Paine. | ||
| + | Sitka s Paul Olson, from The Boat Company, and John Hocevar, also talked about the need to consider the downsides of a catch share person, and noted concerns with privatizing a public resource. | ||
| + | Ultimately, the council will have to address the full suite of issues raised in testimony, and others, many of which were raised in the on the issue. The council will decide in staff tasking Tuesday when the Gulf rationalization effort is to come back before it,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/MLB-Size-Caps-023-10639/ MLB Size Caps-023],[http://wiki.us.es/ets_estadistica/index.php/Usuario:Kendigmuh59#Obama_laying_out_vision_for_good_governance Obama laying out vision for good governance], but final action is not slated for the near future.</html> | ||

| + | |||
| + | <html>The Senate voted Tuesday morning to confirm the nomination of Jennifer Dorsey,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/MLN-Size-Caps-1-10742/ MLN Size Caps-1], a partner with the Las Vegas firm of Kemp, Jones & Coulthard,[http://www.cnjingjiu.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=391567 Head of rail company denies poor safety record], as a federal district court judge. | ||
| + | Dorsey fills the seat vacated by Judge Larry Hicks when he took senior status at the end of 2012. | ||
| + | The vote to confirm Dorsey was 54-41 — and sharply divided along political lines. | ||
| + | Dorsey, a civil litigation attorney and native Las Vegan, was heavily championed by Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid, who passed her name along to the White House as a potential judicial nominee last June. | ||
| + | “I am impressed with her dedication to the state of Nevada, her community and the legal profession,” Reid said Tuesday morning. | ||
| + | President Barack Obama nominated Dorsey in September 2012. | ||
| + | But Republicans bristled at a questionable timeline of political contributions made in the weeks just prior to Reid’s recommendation, by founding partners in Dorsey’s firm to Majority PAC, a political action committee run by former Reid aides to promote Democratic candidates championed by Reid. | ||
| + | William Kemp gave Majority PAC $100,000, and J. Randall Jones gave the PAC $50,000 in May 2012,[http://www.13uhr10.org/wiki/index.php?title=Benutzer:Fiorevi03#All_10_killed_in_Soldotna.2C_Alaska.2C_air_taxi_crash_0 All 10 killed in Soldotna, Alaska, air taxi crash 0], according to donation records first reported in the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Dorsey had also made a $2,500 donation to Reid’s personal campaign committee — though the $2,500 was returned prior to Reid recommending her as a federal nominee. | ||
| + | Reid has denied any wrongdoing, reminding that he has no official relationship with Majority PAC. | ||
| + | But Republicans were not satisfied with the explanation. | ||
| + | “We have not received a full explanation of what happened,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Nike-Ravens-81-Anquan-Boldin-Purple-Elite-2013-Super-Bowl-XLVII-Jersey-29768/ Nike Ravens 81 Anquan Boldin Purple Elite 2013 Super Bowl XLVII Jersey],” Sen. Chuck Grassley, the leading Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Tuesday, just prior to the vote. “I’m concerned about the appearances of these contributions and how such actions might undermine the public confidence that our citizenry must have in the judicial branch.” | ||
| + | in mid-May, when Dorsey’s nomination came up for a preliminary vote in the Senate’s Judiciary Committee. That 10-8 vote split neatly along party lines. | ||
| + | On Tuesday, only Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine voted against her party to confirm Dorsey. | ||
| + | Dorsey’s confirmation leaves only one remaining vacancy on Nevada’s seven-seat federal bench. No nomination has yet been made to fill the position.</html> | ||
