Southeast Alaska Summer Dungeness Harvest The Worst In Decades

The commercial harvest for Dungeness crab in Southeast Alaska this summer was the lowest in several decades. But it might not be a complete bust. As Angela Denning reports from KFSK in Petersburg, the harvest numbers only tell part of the story.

The summer season for Dungies closed three weeks early in Southeast.

I sat down with Kellii Wood, a Crab Biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, to ask what happened.

“How did it go this year,” I ask her.

Wood laughs and gives a drawn out, “well.”
