Sounds like it is commercial fishing interests that are the ones  in favor of restricting the Dip Net harvest.  The commercial  arguments are always cloaked in habitat complaints, private property arguments, claims that the fishery is dangerous  as well as the waste that supposedly occurs. It is not surprising that the city of Kenai wants to restrict the dip net fishery. The commercial fishing interests dominate the city's  administration and the city council. Seriously doubt that there will be restrictions to this fishery, however. Too many votors and legislators involved. Would take courage by a BOF member to vote to reduce the fishery in any way. With legislative confirmation of three members coming up they might be wise to leave well enough alone.
