A U.N. study warned that one million species are threatened with extinction. That means fishing prospects aren't good in Alaska either.

Wrangell Alaska formerly was the location of the Alaska Pulp Corporation that cut a half billion feet of trees each year. It was a Japanese owned corporation that devastated Alaskan coastal forest old growth. Though it closed about 25 years ago, tourists are just now replacing the income a little with 60 cruise ships scheduled to make port calls this summer.
Humans in such vast numbers today- approaching 8 billion, wreak huge impact on the land and water as well as the atmosphere. It would be possible to have some fishing of quality for sports and subsistence fisherpersons for some time to come if the commercial catch was reduced at least to equal proportions with the other to sectors.
There actually is a fourth estate that wants a share of fish too- animals. Animals need fish to eat and to help keep the ecosphere alive. It is all cut of one cloth. It is just human economic structure virus killing off life instead of multiplying it. The Biblical admonition to be fruitful and multiply is applicable, quite likely, to the biosphere as well as just humans. Just humans in a godless shag carpet screwball empirical experience is more toward the yippee side of things than the responsible, sober and accountable.
