The Alaska Department of Fish and Game board process can be daunting to newcomers. Especially those learning the processes of how decisions are made, with meetings coming up in the next few months, it could be helpful to learn how to navigate the process
“That leaves a lot of the less thorny subjects and the management to the department, not putting the department in the hard position of deciding who gets to catch the fish,” Board of Fisheries Executive Director Art Nelson said.
The process of creating regulations for Fish and Game heavily stems from public input throughout, with four distinct steps. About 280 proposals were received this year, which is on par with previous years, Nelson said. These proposals will be filed into a proposal book that is available to the public in August and are published online.
“You show up to a meeting, and there’s 200 people there and, you know, the board members up at the table, and it can be really intimidating,” Nelson said. “But you just got to jump in and go with it.”
