The board is accepting proposed changes to the subsistence, commercial, personal use, sport, guided sport, and guided sport ecotourism finfish provisions regulations. Examples of “statewide finfish†regulations can be found in Title 5 of the Alaska Administrative Code and include, but are not limited to, policy for the management of sustainable salmon fisheries, policy for the management of mixed stock fisheries, policy for statewide salmon escapement goals, possession of sport-caught fish, fishing by proxy, etc.
PROPOSAL DEADLINE: 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, APRIL 10, 2012
To insure that the proposed booklets are distributed well in advance of the board meetings and the fishing season, the board has set 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 10, 2012 as the proposal deadline.
Proposals may be submitted by mail, fax, or online:
Mail: ADF&G, Boards Support Section
P.O. Box 115526
Juneau, AK 99811-5526
Fax: (907) 465-6094

Proposals must contain a contact telephone number and address. Please print or type the individual’s name or organization’s name as appropriate. A fax is acceptable and considered an original. Currently, we are unable to accept submission of proposal via email. We are working with our information technology section and hope to be able to offer this option soon.
All proposals are reviewed by the board’s proposal review committee prior to publication. Language that is emotionally charged detracts from the substance of the proposal. It may draw opposition that may not be germane to the element(s) of the proposal and may elicit nonresponsive charges from the public/board members. The proposal review committee reserves the right to edit proposals containing offensive language. Proposals published in the proposal book will be referenced with the appropriate Alaska Administrative Code citation and include a brief description of the action requested. Following publication, proposal booklets will be available to advisory committees and the public for review and comment.
Proposals received per the above “Call for Proposals†deadline will be considered by the Board of Fisheries during the October 2012 through March 2013 meeting schedule.
For more information, please contact the Alaska Board of Fisheries Executive Director at (907) 465-4110.
ADVENTURE! FUN! MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE!
NWS PEACE Program, a non-profit and CSIET approved program, is seeking CARING families in YOUR area to host high school students from various countries for the 2012 school year. The studetns are 15-18 years of age and will begin arriving in August to spend the upcoming 5-10months with a caring family while attending your local high school.
There is no such thing as a typical host family! Whether you are a single parent, retired, have small children, teens or no children, you can have a great experience hosting an international teen!
All that these students require is a bed, meals and a caring family to share their 5-10 month stay in our beautiful country. Since early placement is crucial to the success of the program, our goal is to have the students matched with host families by July 1. The timing is important in developing the bonds od the “new family”. Can’t host but want to be involved? Call us and we will tell you how.
BRING THE WORLD TO YOUR DOORSTEP!

Fish News
Dec. 22, 2011
News from NOAA: New Regs for GOA Pacific Cod Sector Split
Kick in Jan. 1, 2012
New regulations to implement Gulf of Alaska (GOA) Pacific cod (Pcod) sector splits will take effect January 1, 2012. Federal fisheries permits (FFP), if surrendered, will not be re-issued until the next three-year cycle. Additionally, if a vessel holds an FFP, it must also be named on a License Limitation Permit (LLP) valid for the adjacent federal waters in order to fish in the state parallel fisheries. For example, if a pot boat from Sand Point has a federal fisheries permit and wants to fish the parallel fisheries, it must also be named on an LLP with a WG pot Pcod endorsement. In considering whether to surrender an FFP, please remember that an FFP is required to fish for IFQ halibut and sablefish in federal waters (because of the requirement to keep bycatch of Pacific cod and rockfish). Please call the NOAA Fisheries Office of Law Enforcement in Kodiak at 486-3298 if you have questions about federal fisheries regulations.

What are YOU doing March 19-23, 2012?
Alaska Youth for Environmental Action’s annual Civics & Conservation Summit brings 20 youth leaders to our state capital for a week of high-impact, fun-filled, and adrenaline-pumping civic engagement lessons. During this event, youth will learn the following skills: how to talk with the media, how to communicate with elected officials, how to read a bill, and how to impact decisions our leaders make about our environment and our lives. We also include sessions on the tribal resolution process, environmental justice, and defining sources of power and influence. The training ends with youth-led visits to state legislators to discuss environmental concerns and interests. This is a life-changing training that will give teens skills they can use in any arena.
The 2012 Civics & Conservation Summit will take place March 19-23 in Juneau. AYEA is currently accepting applications for youth participants, peer leaders, and adult trainers/volunteers. Applications are available on the AYEA website: http://ayea.org/training-events/ccs. The deadline to apply is January 15, 2012.
