Summary
The North Pacific Fisheries Research Foundation wants to test new gear that helps salmon escape while fishing for pollock in the Bering Sea. If approved, some fishing rules will be relaxed for a few boats during July and August 2025 to try out these salmon-friendly devices. This could help protect salmon while keeping pollock fishing strong, with no extra costs mentioned.
