Reserve “Alaska” labeling for fish caught in Alaska waters

Murkowski supports reserving “Alaska” or “Alaskan” as a geographic label for fish caught in waters off Alaska, while allowing “Pollock” as an acceptable market name. The stated goal is to prevent Russian-origin pollock from being sold in the U.S. market as Alaska pollock and protect Alaska fishermen and the product’s reputation.

Context: The page describes language she secured in a 2016 appropriations bill and says she has continued this effort; it does not describe a new measure.
