Alaska Editorial: Mind the gaps
This week in Anchorage, the state brought in experts to identify the gaps in the draft plan. They received some useful comments. Reviewers urged that more attention be given to ocean acidification, climate change and the ecological effects of the Bering Sea pollock-fishing industry. They also encouraged research into how wild salmon populations are affected by the annual release of millions of fish from commercial hatcheries.http://juneauempire.com/opinion/2012-11-01/alaska-editorial-mind-gaps
