Simpson v. State, Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission

OPINION

EASTAUGH, Justice.

I. INTRODUCTION

The Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission (CFEC) limited participation in the Northern Southeast Inside sablefish fishery, a non-distressed fishery, and set the maximum number of permits at seventy-three. Steven Simpson challenged this number and CFEC's decision to deny him skipper participation points for 1984. The superior court upheld CFEC's decisions, and Simpson appeals. Because CFEC followed proper procedures in establishing the number of permits and denying Simpson the disputed skipper participation points, we affirm the superior court's decision.
