On this week's episode with host Davis Hovey, the outgoing executive director of the Alaska Groundfish Data Bank, Julie Bonney, gives an overview of the 40-year-old Kodiak organization and why it's winding down its operations for good.
Davis Hovey was first drawn to Alaska by the opportunity to work for a radio station in a remote, unique place like Nome. More than 7 years later he has spent most of his career reporting on climate change and research, fisheries, local government, Alaska Native communities and so much more.
The fishing industry group Alaska Groundfish Data Bank closed its office doors on Dec. 31, after nearly 40 years of representing trawl catcher vessels and processors in the Gulf of Alaska. The Kodiak-based organization has mainly revolved around one person for most of its lifespan.
