Since statehood, the state of Alaska has had authority over salmon management in Alaska. 

In 2011, the North Pacific Fishery Management Council unanimously updated the Salmon Fishery Management Plan with the state of Alaska, when the state was given full jurisdiction over three historic areas in Prince William Sound, Cook Inlet and Area M where commercial salmon fisheries occurred outside of the three mile state limit in federal waters. The Salmon FMP acknowledges that the regulations passed by the Alaska Board of Fisheries and implemented by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game are science based, conservation minded, and follow the intent of the 10 National Standards in MSA. 

Roland Maw, former executive director of UCIDA and now facing 12 felony charges for fraud, testified to the Council in 2011 on how UCIDA was supposedly being shortchanged by the BOF process and ADFG management. All of his fellow commercial fishermen on the Council, the majority, did not bite.
