Growing up in California in the 60s, one learned in elementary school of
CA's Tuna industry.  Then one day Peru declared a 200 mile limit and CA
tuna boats got seized.  The US chooses to stay with various 19th century
coastal artillery limits for a variety of reasons.

The salmon (or crab or halibut) question for you in AK is not "if?" but
when?

Any claimed benefit from a warming climate will have its down sides.
Just ask any CA fisherman about dealing with farm run off.

Iceland and the UK have interesting turf wars.
