California seeks federal help for salmon fishers facing ban

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:06:24 GMT

SAN DIEGO (AP) — California officials are seeking millions of dollars in federal disaster relief for the state's salmon fishing industry, they said Friday following the closure of recreational and commercial king salmon fishing seasons along much of the West Coast due to near-record low numbers of the iconic fish returning to their spawning grounds.Dealing a blow to the Pacific Northwest’s salmon fishing industry, the Pacific Fishery Management Council approved the closure Thursday for fall-run Chinook fishing from Cape Falcon in northern Oregon to the California-Mexico border. Limited recreational salmon fishing will be allowed off southern Oregon in the fall.Much of the salmon caught off Oregon originate in California’s Klamath and Sacramento rivers. After hatching in freshwater, they spend an average of three years maturing in the Pacific, where many are snagged by commercial fishermen, before migrating back to their spawning grounds, where conditions are more ideal to give birth...

By Mark Thiessen | Associated PressANCHORAGE, Alaska — So this moose walks into a medical building…While that could be a setup to a bad joke, it actually happened in Anchorage on Thursday.A young moose trudging through the snow looking for a meal spotted green plants in the lobby of a medical building in the Providence Alaska Health Park and decided to drop in for a dose of greenery.The ingenious — or lucky — moose triggered the sensors on the automatic doors to the building that houses the hospital’s cancer center and other medical offices, said Randy Hughes, the hospital’s director of security.“We received a call from one of our tenants advising that a moose had just walked into the building,” Hughes said.Hughes believes it’s the same moose that has been hanging around campus. And even though moose are commonplace in Alaska, they made an announcement over the intercom of the moose’s presence out of safety concerns.“But it seemed like...
