Within one generation, there's been an 84% decline in the number of young people owning state fishing permits, and a 67% decline in the number of permits overall (Figs 1 and 2). The magnitude of loss of access to federal fisheries is similar. Small boat harbors are empty. Communities are facing depopulation and social problems. In a recent survey, less than 10% of students in Ouzinlde see a positive future for young people in their community. Similar patterns of dispossession in rural and Indigenous fishing communities have occurred worldwide when fishing rights have been limited and monetized. Nations have been responding by declaring the right to fish a cultural right and a human right. Management programs have been amended to include provisions to facilitate special consideration of, and entry for, youth, small-scale fishermen, and rural and Indigenous communities. New entry points are needed in Alaska to address this crisis. Within current legal frameworks, educational permits and super -exclusive status fisheries may provide some mechanism for Kodiak's villages to rebuild the fisheries participation they depend on. More systemic shifts in access management for both state and federal fisheries are also needed.

American Fisheries Society, Symposium 68, Bethesda, MD. Kodiak Archipelago Rural Regional Leadership Forum Working Draft Fisheries Issues, Goals and Strategies- 2013 ISSUES Loss of Human Right to fish leads to a significant decline in access to fisheries by local communities and an increase in controlling interests by outside third parties. This loss of access impacts our communities in four major areas. Including: • Degradation of Sugpiaq and community traditions that have been based on marine resources for at least 7,060 years. As the number of fishermen decline, valuable knowledge regarding the local environment and resources is lost. • Loss of community food security. The ability to obtain and share subsistence foods is directly related to the number of commercial fishermen in each community as our commercial fishermen also fish for subsistence resources for large, extended families and community elders. • Decline in available capital. As access to fisheries declines for our coastal communities, so does access to capital to purchase resources such as permits, IFQ's, boats and gear. • Limiting opportunities. All of this contributes to limiting opportunity for our community members, particularly our young people. Without the ability to work on boats owned within the extended family, our youth have no ability to learn the skills developed over generations. This has led to a loss of work ethic. Their attitude is changing from "work for it" to "give it to me". Fisheries management is currently not supporting the long-term sustainability of our marine resources for our small coastal communities. For example, regulations currently allow for fishing practices that can cause habitat destruction and large by -catch of non -targeted species such as halibut and king salmon that are important community subsistence resources.. GOALS AND STRATEGIES Establish Fisheries Policies that support local communities: • All State and Federal policies must be reviewed and modified to recognize a human, cultural and community's right to fish. • All future policy development must be supportive of viable coastal communities. • Fisheries policy must be viewed as a holistic systems, and policies must include consideration of the impacts on local economies, culture and heritage, teaching and learning between the generations, and community health and well-being. • Food and livelihood sovereignty must be respected. Making what we currently have work. Don't lose any more ground. • Work to reduce the cost of entry for our local fishermen. • Maximize effectiveness of Community Quota Entities. • Encourage our young people to participate in the cod jigging fishery before that closes. Improve fisheries management, particularly in regard to critical subsistence species. • Establish community exclusion zones AMD's similar to what was done in Sitka. nr�A t/arm; 7 G/11/11 �� _ � `r• .:- ..J. r:. �r t-� 1.

Whereas, The Kodiak Archipelago Rural Regional Leadership Forum is a consortium of leaders from our regions tribes, municipal governments, Alaska Native corporations and other committed community leaders from the coastal communities of Akhiok, Kodiak, Larsen Bay, Ouzinkie and Port Lions; and Whereas, fish and access to marine resources have always been a foundational resource for our region's communities; and Whereas, sustainable fisheries and maritime skills form the economic basis and cultural foundation of fishery dependent coastal communities in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA); and Whereas, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) is currently considering a bycatch management program for the GOA groundfish trawl fisheries that proposes a range of alternatives; and Whereas, alternatives within the GOA Trawl Byeatch management program provide for the reduction of halibut and Chinook salmon captured and discarded by the trawl fisheries as bycatch, for 100% observer coverage of the trawl fleet when prosecuting groundfish fisheries, and for the development of a Community Fishing Association; and Whereas, incremental reductions of halibut and Chinook salmon bycatch will help to restore these critically depleted stocks that are of traditional importance to directed fishermen; 100% observer coverage will provide accurate and reliable information about the magnitude, location, and frequency of halibut and Chinook salmon bycatch; and a Community Fishing Association will enable fishery dependent coastal communities to encourage and sustain local resident fishermen; and Whereas, the GOA Trawl Bycatch Management Program will define access to the resource for the foreseeable future, shape rural communities' opportunities to participate in GOA trawl fisheries, and set a precedent for other GOA federal fisheries; Whereas, no significant catch share program adopted by any Regional Fishery Management Council anywhere in the United States has been substantially altered or changed in the allocation of quota once the program is adopted; and Kodiak Archipelago Rural Regional Leadership Foram 2 Resolution 2016-4 Regarding Testimony fora proposed NPFMC GOA Bycatch Program Whereas, Kodiak's experience with Alaska catch share programs has resulted in significant harm to Kodiak and the island's rural coastal communities. These harms include the loss of access to local halibut and sablefish fisheries, the reduction of crew jobs and vessel support services caused by excessive consolidation, the ebbing of community engagement and support as large quota shareholders leave the community; and Whereas, negative impacts from a GOA Trawl Bycatch Management program can be mitigated by bycatch reductions, 1001/6 observer coverage, maintaining opportunity to enter the fishery, and providing quote to a Community Fishing Association; Therefore Be It Resolved that the leaders of the Kodiak Archipelago Rural Regional Leadership Forum unanimously and steadfastly request that the NPFMC design a GOA Trawl Bycatch Program that significantly reduces halibut and Chinook salmon bycatch allocated to the GOA trawl fishery, requires 100% observer coverage of all trawl vessels, and allocates quota to a Community Fishing Association; Therefore Be It Further Resolved that any new management program in the GOA must provide viable entry opportunities for the next generation of fishermen, minimize the creation of new wealth through individually allocated harvest privileges, and minimize the permanence of the allocation; Therefore Be It Further Resolved that the NPFMC ensure that the GOA Trawl Bycatch Management Program include allocation and/or re -allocation provisions that are based on criteria other then historical catch, including a fishery dependent community's economic, historic, and cultural relationship with adjacent marine resources. Passed and adopted this 22"d day of September, 2016 by the 47 community leaders of the Kodiak Archipelago Rural Regional Leadership Forum from Akhiok, Kodiak, Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie and Port Lions. Marty `Shuravloff, Chairman Honorable Don Young July XX, 2016 2314 Rayburn House Office Bldg. Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Congressman Young, As one of our nation's top leaders on fisheries issues, we are hoping that you will agree to introduce and support legislation aimed at training and assisting the next generation of commercial fishermen. In Alaska, we have been working hard to encourage young fishermen to join the commercial fishing sector through our Young Fishermen's Network and the Alaska Sea Grant Young Fishermen's Summit. These efforts, among others, are dedicated to helping our youngest fishermen receive the training and experience they need to build a successful commercial fishing career. Through our work with other Fishing Communities Coalition (FCC) members around the country, we have discovered that Alaska is the exception and that there are few programs dedicated to training our next generation of commercial fishermen. Because the average age of commercial fishermen continues to increase, we are deeply concerned about the greying of America's fleet and the future of our industry. Not long ago, farmers and ranchers faced similar challenges and worked with Congress to create the very successful Beginning Farmers and Ranchers Development Program. This program provides grants to educate, mentor, and train young farmers and ranchers. America's young farmers and ranchers have benefitted enormously from this coordinated federal effort and we want to provide similar assistance to commercial fishermen nationwide. Working with our partners around the country we have developed legislation entitled The Young Fishermen's Development Program Act, which is designed to preserve America's fishing heritage through a national program dedicated to supporting the next generation of commercial fishermen. In many respects, we seek to replicate the Alaska experience in fishing communities in the lower 48. Members of the FCC recognize the value of lessons learned in Alaska: when communities don't have a next generation of commercial fishermen, they lose access to economic opportunity, food security, their heritage, and a way of life. We write to you today to ask you to introduce and support this important legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives. We appreciate your leadership and tireless efforts to support our commercial fishing industry in Alaska and across our Nation.

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH AGENDA STATEMENT e NOVEMBER 3.2016 ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING t TITLE: Ordinance No. FY2017-16 Amending Sections of Kodiak Island Borough Code Title 18 Borough Real Property, Chapter 18.20 Real Property Disposal - In General To Address Certain Methods and Means of Borough Land Disposal Process. ORIGINATOR: Duane Dvorak FISCAL IMPACT: No FUNDS AVAILABLE: No Account Number: Amount Budgeted: SUMMARY STATEMENT: This ordinance has been recommended to the assembly by the Borough Lands Committee (BLC) in order to address certain matters related to borough land disposal and land sales. The BLC established a subcommittee of its members in order to delve into the various provisions of KIBC Chapter 18.20 Real Property Disposal - In General. The subcommittee met over the course of several months to consider all provisions of KIBC 18.20. In the end, the subcommittee recommended a fairly limited range of recommended amendments. This recommendation was subsequently reviewed by the full BLC and forwarded on to the assembly with the committee's recommendation. Note: This item was referred by staff to the Borough Lands Committee at its September 14, 2016 regular meeting. The BLC did not wish to make further changes to the recommended amendments. The BLC requested staff return this item to the assembly agenda "as -is". The recommended changes in this ordinance are considered by the BLC as necessary preparation for a spring land sale. The issue of alternative land disposal methods for disposals not by land sale will be addressed at another time after the preparations for a land sale have been completed. August 18 RM - Introduction of Ordinance August 25 WS - discussed version 2 (based on Attorney's opinion) and Assembly suggested correction to increase the rebate percentage from 10% to 25% - incorporated the correction in Version 3 September 1 RM - Public hearing advertised but NOT HELD, Postponed to October 20 October 20 - Amended the ordinance with Version 3 with wording change to the rebate. After the amendment, a motion was made to advance this to public hearing to November 3, 2016. November 3 - Version 4 is now before the Assembly and is the version that is up for public hearing.

Page 43 of 89 AGENDA ITEM 0.1. SUMMARY OF CHANGES FROM THE ORIGINAL VERSION (INTRODUCED ORDINANCE) TO THE PROPOSED SUBSTITUTED VERSION (VERSION 2) Lines 56 to 58 of the original version ORIGINAL LANGUAGE A. An applicant or bidder for a disposal of borough land is not qualified if the applicant or bidder is currently in breach or default on any contract, lease, deposit or payment in which the borough has an interest. The change below would amend the provision in such a way that it applies only to those instances in which a prospective purchaser is currently in default on any payment owed to the Borough. NEW SUBSTITUTED LANGUAGE A. An applicant or bidder for a disposal of borough land is not qualified if the applicant or bidder is currently in default on the payment of any amounts owed to the borough. Lines 60 to 76 of the original version ORIGINAL LANGUAGE The language below was inserted in Section 18.20.120 Land disposal method. A. Offer a 10% rebate of the purchase price for land if a residential dwelling is established and legally occupied within 36 months of the land purchase. It appears that the proposed revision should probably be treated as an exception to the Borough's fair market value requirement, and would therefore more properly be located in 18.20.100 as a standalone provision. NEW SUBSTITUTED LANGUAGE A. Notwithstanding the other requirements of this section the assembly may auhorize a 10 percent rebate of the purchase price for land so long as within 36 months of the sale date the purchaser has constructed a residential dwelling upon the property. and has obtained all legal authorization required to occupy it.

This list identifies the major needs of the island community for the next five 21 years; and 22 23 WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough Identifies priority projects to be submitted to the 24 Alaska State legislative delegation, the Federal legislative delegation and when applying for 25 grants; 26 27 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING 28 COMMISSION OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH THAT: 29 30 Section 1: The Kodiak Island Borough Planning and Zoning Commission recommends 31 the following capital improvement projects, not in any priority order, for adoption into the 32 Kodiak Island Borough FY 2017 - 2021 CIP list of capital projects: 33 34 1. MN Tustumena Replacement Vessel Construction 35 Estimated Project Cost $237,600,000 36 State Funding Request $21,500,000 37 The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities is currently in the process of 38 designing the MN Tustumena replacement vessel. The MN Tustumena was built in 1964 and 39 serves the communities of South Central, Kodiak Island, and Southwest Alaska. It is one of two 40 ocean class vessels in the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) fleet. Because of its size 41 and design, it Is the only AMHS vessel that Is capable of serving all 13 ports of call between 42 Homer and Unalaska. Retiring and replacing the M/ V Tustumena with a vessel that is equally, 43 if not more, versatile and seaworthy will provide reliable marine transportation service well into 44 the future for the communities, residents and businesses in South Central, Kodiak Island, and 45 Southwest Alaska. 46 47 The M/ V Tustumena is an essential service to the communities of Kodiak Island. As such, the 48 Kodiak Island Borough is requesting that the Governor plan to include in the FY2018 capital 49 budget funding for the approximately $21,500,000 in required Federal -Aid Highway State 50 Match, as indicated in Amendment #1 of the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program. 51 52 2. E911 Replacement Equipment S350,000 53 The City of Kodiak completed construction of the new public safety building in 2010. One of the 54 important aspects of the new facility is to continue to provide area -wide dispatch services and 55 enhanced 911 (E911) service to the Kodiak area. The City completed a study which advised 56 replacement of the system. The study indicated that basic upgrades with future expansion 57 capabilities will cost at least $350,000. The current system is operable but replacement parts Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. FY2017-10 Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution No. FY2017-10 Page 0210l 3 AGENDA ITEM #18.C.1. 58 and service/maintenance agreements are no longer available due to the age of the system. 59 The City and Borough have been unable to find additional funding to help cover the cost of 60 replacement and will continue to look for available funding sources for this important public 61 safety service. 62 63 3. Anton Larsen Bay Road Extension to Ice Free Water $8,100,000 64 An extension of the Anton Larsen Bay Road to ice -free waters will provide year around access 65 to those communities located in the Kupreanof Strait and Kizhuiak Bay areas as well as those 66 who use the island's west side for commercial and recreational purposes. Many times during 67 the year travel by vessel to Kodiak is treacherous. Extending the road to ice free waters makes 68 traveling safer, providing access to critical services located in the City of Kodiak including 69 hospitals and businesses. This is envisioned to be a cooperative effort between KIB, AKDOT, 70 Ouzinkie Native Corporation (surface estate owner), Koniag Inc. (subsurface estate owner) and 71 other tribal entities. This route was identified in the Kodiak Transportation Plan as an important 72 upland facility. Some or all of the aforementioned parties may participate in funding this. 73 74 4. Service Area Road and Paving Improvements S5,000,000 75 To be applied to priority projects identified by the road service districts including Service Area 76 One, Womens Bay Service Area, Bayvlew Service Area, and Monashka Bay Service Area. 77 Priorities will be based on recommendations made by the elected service area boards and 78 professional engineering study. Local contributions to project engineering and design may be 79 funded through local improvement districts where those in the district are taxed a proportion of 80 the project. 81 82 5. Mission Road Safety Improvements 320,000,000 83 Mission Road is a major collector street for the community, and one of the roads that 84 lead to downtown. The project will widen the existing two (2) lanes and provide a 85 pedestrian and bike path on the shoulder or on the sidewalks. This requested funding 86 will provide for the needed planning and design that will help develop a scope of work and 87 the overall project cost. 88 89 6. Fire Protection Area No. 1 Fire Tanker/Tender Vehicle 90 Estimated Vehicle Cost $420,000 91 Funding Request $100,000 92 The Bayside Fire Station provides fire protection to the residents and visitors of Fire Protection 93 Area No. 1. The existing fire tanker/tender vehicle that serves that area is 32 years old and is 94 in need of replacement. The estimated cost of a new fully equipped 3,000 gallon fire 95 tanker/lender vehicle delivered to Kodiak is $420,000. Fire Protection Area No. 1 currently has 96 $320,000 to fund the purchase of the vehicle. The remaining $100,000 required to complete 97 the purchase is requested. 98 99 7. VFW Rifle Range Reconstruction $150,000 100 The existing outdoor rille range is closed because it is unsafe to property owners adjacent to 101 the facility. Bullets are known to have left the range creating off-site dangers. The solution to 102 this danger is to properly develop the area into a bone -a -fide 100 yard range. KISA has enlisted 103 the help of a range consultant that evaluated the existing range and made design suggestions 104 to make it available to the shooting public. Design aspects include the proper grading of the 105 area, creation of two backstops, expansion of the width of the range and the installation of a 106 baffle system. The continued closure of this range has led to a number of unsafe bandit ranges 107 along the road system that are not regulated, cause a public nuisance and are in dangerous. 108 109 8. Engineering and Design for East Elementary Traffic Flow Improvements $815,000 110 East Elementary School was constructed in 1966 with a substantially addition in 1988. The ill facility now totals 39,842 square feet with twenty-five teaching stations. Since the 112 expansion, increased traffic flows in the vicinity due to major business development have 113 created dangerous vehicle/student hazards when students are entering and leaving school. 114 Reconfiguration of the parking area will reduce risks by providing for a safer separation of Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. FY2017-10 Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution No. FY2017-10 Page W00ftf 3 AGENDA ITEM #18.C.1. 115 pedestrians, small vehicle traffic and bus loading/unloading. A new design will require an 116 increase in the total area of the parking lot to allow adequate parking to support Increased 117 building usage and occupant load. 118 119 9. Parks and Field Plan $50,000 120 Borough owns and manages land and fields for recreational purposes which need a master 121 plan to ensure best utilization and maintenance by the community. A master plan would also 122 help to reconcile jurisdictional and policy concerns with regard to cooperative use 123 arrangements with City of Kodiak and KIB School District. 124 125 10. Kodiak Island Trail Improvements 550,000 126 This is a priority identified by the Kodiak Island Borough Parks and Recreation Committee. 127 The purpose of the project would be to design and implement trail system improvements as 128 recommended and prioritized in the recently adopted Kodiak Road System Trail Plan, to 129 include, but not limited to, trail head improvements, parking area and circulation plans, 130 drainage improvements, environmental permitting,etc. 131 132 11. Mill Bay Beach Access and Recreation Upgrade S163,000 133 This beach is heavily used by residents, sports fisherman and the community who come to 134 view this bay located close to town. New construction items proposed here would include 135 new stairs and walkways and trail enhancements between the two beaches, as well as a 136 small raft/kayak launch.

The Crisis of Fisheries Dispossession in Kodiak's Alutiiq Villages Courtney Carothers, College of Fisheries and Ocea r Sciences, University of Alaska Fairbanks cicarothersUl7alaska.edu; 907-375-1412; hiip://fishennen.alaska.edu Kodiak's Alutiiq villages are facing a crisis of lost access to fisheries. Within one generation, there's been an 840/o decline in the number of young people owning state fishing permits, and a 67% decline in the number of permits overall (Figs 1 and 2). The magnitude of loss of access to federal fisheries is similar. Small boat harbors are empty. Communities are facing depopulation and social problems. In a recent survey, less than 10% of students in Ouzinlde see a positive future for young people in their community. Similar patterns of dispossession in rural and Indigenous fishing communities have occurred worldwide when fishing rights have been limited and monetized. Nations have been responding by declaring the right to fish a cultural right and a human right. Management programs have been amended to include provisions to facilitate special consideration of, and entry for, youth, small-scale fishermen, and rural and Indigenous communities. New entry points are needed in Alaska to address this crisis. Within current legal frameworks, educational permits and super -exclusive status fisheries may provide some mechanism for Kodiak's villages to rebuild the fisheries participation they depend on. More systemic shifts in access management for both state and federal fisheries are also needed.

Kodiak Archipelago Rural Regional Leadership Forum Working Draft Fisheries Issues, Goals and Strategies- 2013 ISSUES Loss of Human Right to fish leads to a significant decline in access to fisheries by local communities and an increase in controlling interests by outside third parties. This loss of access impacts our communities in four major areas. Including: • Degradation of Sugpiaq and community traditions that have been based on marine resources for at least 7,000 years. As the number of fishermen decline, valuable knowledge regarding the local environment and resources is lost. • Loss of community food security. The ability to obtain and share subsistence foods is directly related to the number of commercial fishermen in each community as our commercial fishermen also fish for subsistence resources for large, extended families and community elders. • Decline in available capital. As access to fisheries declines for our coastal communities, so does access to capital to purchase resources such as permits, IFQ's, boats and gear. • Limiting opportunities. All of this contributes to limiting opportunity for our community members, particularly our young people. Without the ability to work on boats owned within the extended family, our youth have no ability to learn the skills developed over generations. This has led to a loss of work ethic. Their attitude is changing from "work for it" to "give it to me". Fisheries management is currently not supporting the long-term sustainability of our marine resources for our small coastal communities. For example, regulations currently allow for fishing practices that can cause habitat destruction and large by -catch of non -targeted species such as halibut and king salmon, that are important community subsistence resources.. GOALS AND STRATEGIES Establish Fisheries Policies that support local communities: • All State and Federal policies must be reviewed and modified to recognize a human, cultural and community's right to fish. • All future policy development must be supportive of viable coastal communities. • Fisheries policy must be viewed as a holistic systems, and policies must include consideration of the impacts on local economies, culture and heritage, teaching and learning between the generations, and community health and well-being. • Food and livelihood sovereignty must be respected. Making what we currently have work. Don't lose any more ground. • Work to reduce the cost of entry for our local fishermen. • Maximize effectiveness of Community Quota Entities. • Encourage our young people to participate in the cod jigging fishery before that closes. Improve fisheries management, particularly in regard to critical subsistence species. • Establish community exclusion zones AMP's) similar to what was done in Sitim Tl. f� \lnrcinn 7 G/12/11 .,: f ' .. � ( r. i .!iii � �. ;:}-,_. -� 1}:- �. .. .. - r). as � t...�� 1 '.. � i ,i .1, i I I . , �. _- �1.. , - .. !Ci .. � ... ..

Whereas, The Kodiak Archipelago Rural Regional Leadership Forum is a consortium of leaders from our regions tribes, municipal governments, Alaska Native corporations and other committed community leaders from the coastal communities of Akhiok, Kodiak, Larsen Bay, Ouzinlde and Port Lions; and Whereas, fish and access to marine resources have always been a foundational resource for our region's communities; and Whereas, sustainable fisheries and maritime skills form the economic basis and cultural foundation of fishery dependent coastal communities in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA); and Whereas, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) is currently considering a bycatch management program for the GOA groundfish trawl fisheries that proposes a range of alternatives; and Whereas, alternatives within the GOA Trawl Bycatch management program provide for the reduction of halibut and Chinook salmon captured and discarded by the trawl fisheries as bycatch, for 100% observer coverage of the trawl fleet when prosecuting groundfish fisheries, and for the development of a Community Fishing Association; and Whereas, incremental reductions of halibut and Chinook salmon bycatch will help to restore these critically depleted stocks that are of traditional importance to directed fishermen; 100% observer coverage will provide accurate and reliable information about the magnitude, location, and frequency of halibut and Chinook salmon bycatch; and a Community Fishing Association will enable fishery dependent coastal communities to encourage and sustain local resident fishermen; and Whereas, the GOA Trawl Bycatch Management Program will define access to the resource for the foreseeable future, shape rural communities' opportunities to participate in GOA trawl fisheries, and set a precedent for other GOA federal fisheries; Whereas, no significant catch share program adopted by any Regional Fishery Management Council anywhere in the United States has been substantially altered or changed in the allocation of quota once the program is adopted; and Kodiak Archipelago Rural Regional Leadership Forum 2 Resolution 2016-4 Regarding Testimony for a prqpgsed NPFMC GOA Bycatch Program Whereas, Kodiak's experience with Alaska catch share programs has resulted in significant harm to Kodiak and the island's rural coastal communities. These harms include the loss of access to local halibut and sablefish fisheries, the reduction of crew jobs and vessel support services caused by excessive consolidation, the ebbing of community engagement and support as large quota shareholders leave the community; and Whereas, negative impacts from a GOA Trawl Bycatch Management program can be mitigated by bycatch reductions, 100% observer coverage, maintaining opportunity to enter the fishery, and providing quote to a Community Fishing Association; Therefore Be It Resolved that the leaders of the Kodiak Archipelago Rural Regional Leadership Forum unanimously and steadfastly request that the NPFMC design a GOA Trawl Bycatch Program that significantly reduces halibut and Chinook salmon bycatch allocated to the GOA trawl fishery, requires 100% observer coverage of all trawl vessels, and allocates quota to a Community Fishing Association; Therefore Be It Further Resolved that any new management program in the GOA must provide viable entry opportunities for the next generation of fishermen, minimize the creation of new wealth through individually allocated harvest privileges, and minimize the permanence of the allocation; Therefore Be It Further Resolved that the NPFMC ensure that the GOA Trawl Bycatch Management Program include allocation and/or re -allocation provisions that are based on criteria other then historical catch, including a fishery dependent community's economic, historic, and cultural relationship with adjacent marine resources. Passed and adopted this 22"d day of September, 2016 by the 47 community leaders of the Kodiak Archipelago Rural Regional Leadership ForumfromAkhiok, Kodiak, Larsen Bay, Old Harbor, Ouzinkie and Port Lions. fk%":r, Marty ,Shuravloff, Chairman m©p11�E associateS Honorable Don Young July XX, 2016 2314 Rayburn House Office Bldg. Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Congressman Young, As one of our nation's top leaders on fisheries issues, we are hoping that you will agree to introduce and support legislation aimed at training and assisting the next generation of commercial fishermen. In Alaska, we have been working hard to encourage young fishermen to join the commercial fishing sector through our Young Fishermen's Network and the Alaska Sea Grant Young Fishermen's Summit. These efforts, among others, are dedicated to helping our youngest fishermen receive the training and experience they need to build a successful commercial fishing career. Through our work with other Fishing Communities Coalition (FCC) members around the country, we have discovered that Alaska is the exception and that there are few programs dedicated to training our next generation of commercial fishermen. Because the average age of commercial fishermen continues to increase, we are deeply concerned about the greying of America's fleet and the future of our industry. Not long ago, farmers and ranchers faced similar challenges and worked with Congress to create the very successful Beginning Farmers and Ranchers Development Program. This program provides grants to educate, mentor, and train young farmers and ranchers. America's young farmers and ranchers have benefitted enormously from this coordinated federal effort and we want to provide similar assistance to commercial fishermen nationwide. Working with our partners around the country we have developed legislation entitled The Young Fishermen's Development Program Act, which is designed to preserve America's fishing heritage through a national program dedicated to supporting the next generation of commercial fishermen. In many respects, we seek to replicate the Alaska experience in fishing communities in the lower 48. Members of the FCC recognize the value of lessons learned in Alaska: when communities don't have a next generation of commercial fishermen, they lose access to economic opportunity, food security, their heritage, and a way of life. We write to you today to ask you to introduce and support this important legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives. We appreciate your leadership and tireless efforts to support our commercial fishing industry in Alaska and across our Nation. Sincerely, 0112 A.... IUP OL...A:..s.... nl Om"I I ♦.
