British Columbia’s salmon industry is heading into its strongest season since 2018, with a robust sockeye forecast and a rare alignment of global attention as FIFA World Cup crowds arrive in Vancouver.

Wild Alaskan Company has filed a lawsuit against Silver Bay Seafoods, OBI Seafoods, and Icicle Seafoods, accusing them of threatening its ownership of a key Cook Inlet offload facility.

Pineiro Soler said the agency’s goal is to remove barriers that keep U.S. fishermen from fishing.

The Alaska official claimed the Russian‑managed fishery has “no credible harvest strategy, no bycatch avoidance measures, and no benthic habitat protections.”

NOAA researchers point to increased juvenile-to-adult mortality connected to recent heat waves as a major factor in recent Chinook salmon declines on the Yukon River.

The agency said adding the item will “bring more nutritious protein options to the communities we serve.”

The company with plans to build the dock said it moves up to 6 million pounds of salmon annually.

Superior Court Judge Laura Hartz said the Washington court overseeing the company’s receivership “lacked subject matter jurisdiction” to transfer Alaska property without Alaska’s approval.

“Board decisions are consequential,” Stutes said, noting they impact “tens of thousands of Alaskans within a single action.”
