- FOR PUBLICATION
- IN the last several weeks there has been an extremely high amount of attention being paid to the Inspector generals
- investigation of NOAAS National Marine Fisheries Service enforcement tactics in massachucetts, North carolina, and other east
- coast states I would like to bring to the surface what I believe to be a coverup by the NMFS and NOAA in ALASKA
- In the fall of 2006 I contacted the NMFS enforcement in Alaska and informed them that I had wittnessed a very prominent
- and politically connected Alaskan break state and federal laws dozens of times and where they could find the witnesses
- and evidence to prove my claims.they followed up one accusation about illegal fish being brought in on his boat
- and they did find illegal fish.they then closed the investigation and ignored my claims of falsifying federal documents
- fishing in illegal areas,illegal transfers of quota share licenses and many other crimes including one that would
- carry a penalty of including forfiture of quota shares of $286,000,but nmfs enforcement closed the case with out asking one
- crew member a question...The equivalent of giving a bank robber a ticket for double parking and forgetting the robbery
- It seems that if your a friend of management you can get away with 10 times more than a fish auction in Mass.
- I do'nt know if it was a political favor for a friend or if it proved to be to big of a political embarrassment
- What I do know he is still very much a friend to the most powerfull people at NOAA and NMFS and many in the halls of
- Washington DC...Because of the unprofessional, unethical,and incompetent actions of nmfs enforcement many of the accusations
- are now protected by the statute of limitations...I HOPE THE I G's office looks into my complaint made on line about the
- 2006 investigation...
