JUNEAU — Despite a months-long standoff between Alaska and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. over questions about the sustainability of Alaska seafood, all sides were saying nice things Wednesday after two days of meetings in Juneau between a team of executives from the giant retailer and state officials.
"We want to make sure that any cloud that comes over Alaska and the sustainability of our fisheries, we want to address that immediately," said Susan Bell, commissioner of the Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development.
She said she was "very optimistic" that Wal-Mart would agree that Alaska's seafood was sustainable and would continue to carry it.
