This week, Judge Joshua Kindred ruled in favor of the United Cook Inlet Drift Association in their case against the National Marine Fisheries Service and the State of Alaska.
“This is a very substantial victory,” UCIDA Vice President Erik Huebsch said.
The court’s ruling reverses what was done in November allowing for boats to return to the Cook Inlet and continue to be managed by the state.
