Alaska fishing quotas for native communities were miscalculated, now they are fixed

The US government sets specific fishing quotas for Native Alaskan community groups. These quotas are crucial for their economic development and traditional practices. A miscalculation means these groups might not get their fair share of the catch, affecting their livelihoods and the sustainability of their fisheries.
