Western Alaska Salmon Stock Identification Program (WASSIP): Cooperation Among Stakeholders to Improve Understanding
Program (WASSIP) is a unique collaboration among stakeholders and scientists to address long-standing questions about harvest patterns of chum and sockeye salmon in western Alaska fisheries. Born from frustration with widely divergent regulatory decisions based on limited and controversial data, WAS...
