"Alaska Fisheries" documents the hearings before the Subcommittee of the Committee on Fisheries, United States Senate, during the Sixty-Second Congress, Second Session. The focus of these hearings was S.5856, a bill intended to amend an existing act concerning the protection and regulation of Alaskan fisheries. This historical record provides insight into the legislative considerations and concerns surrounding the management of Alaska's vital natural resources in the early 20th century.
Researchers and historians interested in environmental law, the history of resource management, and the political processes affecting Alaskan territories will find this volume invaluable. It offers a detailed look at the discussions and debates that shaped early policies related to one of Alaska's most important industries.
