Bristol Bay Setnetters Begin Vote on Whether to Join BBRSDA
Efforts to bring Bristol Bay setnetters into the ranks of the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association (BBRSDA) are underway.
The BBRSDA is conducting an election of Bristol Bay salmon set gillnet permit holders to approve a self-imposed 1% seafood development tax of all interim-use and limited entry Bristol Bay set gillnet permit holders within Bristol Bay. The assessment would be effective on June 1, 2024.
Each eligible voter may cast one ballot. All ballots must be mailed to the Alaska Division of Investments and postmarked by Oct. 9. The election closes on Oct 19.
All votes are to be counted and certified by the Alaska Commissioner of Commerce, Community and Economic Development.
Complete details and voting instructions are available on the BBRSDA website.
