I believe it's been appealed. I just spoke with a friend, a salmon
fisherman, who stands to get a small sum of money if the suit is ever
settled. He's says one of the long reaching effects of the spill was
that the salmon farms got a fin hold on the market in the interim. A
curious state of affairs has emerged recently -- the huge
conglomerates who moved in when the price was high have left Alaska's
coast, leaving the fishing to those who have done it as usual for the
last 100 years. He says it's actually better for the common fisherman
that the price is down. The assholes have left town, so to speak.
