Talk:Bristol Bay

message: The 32-foot length of commercial drift gillnet boats in Bristol Bay has nothing to do with the depth of Bristol Bay waters, shoals, etc. Larger vessels such as a Bering Sea crab boats (90 - 110') are used to transport salmon from the fishing boats to the processing operations (canneries or processing ships). Commercial fishermen in Bristol Bay know that a longer (not deeper) boat would be advantageous in Bristol Bay; this length limitation is routinely contested at Alaska Board of Fisheries meetings.
The 32-foot length limit was imposed in 1951 as a compromise when lifting the ban on motorized fishing boats in Bristol Bay. Prior to that year, only sailboats were allowed in the Bristol Bay commercial drift salmon fishery.
You can verify with Alaska Dept. Fish & Game staff, Univ. of Alaska professor Gunnar Knapp, Univ. of Washington professor Ray Hilborn, et al.

message: Trivia sections in geography articles should be about the geographic feature--or perhaps its appearance in popular culture.  Compare notable locations like Haystack Rock.  The fact that Bristol Palin was named after here, even if documented, adds nothing to the feature, and should really be a one-way wikilink from her article (assuming she ever meets WP:N herself).  Her inclusion here would be just a case of recentism, and not serve an encyclopedic purpose. Jclemens (talk) 02:26, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: IMHO, if a person who is potentially a second daughter is named after a location (and that is verifiable), it is part of the American culture. Dems on the move (talk) 05:13, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Jclemens. Well said. Maybe others will comment too? Can this material be left out until consensus is reached? Thank you. --Tom 13:08, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

text: I agree, inconsequential here. If the fact is mentioned in Bristol's article, that's plenty enough. Let's add more facts not previously recorded in WP, rather than regurgitating the same fact over and over again in different articles. Stan (talk) 20:54, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Just a little bit more information on this topic (and why your removal of this worthless bit of trivia should have been removed): Sarah Palin considers herself quite a sports fan, and by some accounts, she named her daughter after Bristol, Connecticut, not Bristol Bay.  Bristol, CT is where ESPN is headquartered and Palin was a sportscaster at one point in her career.  Just thought you should know. ~ * ~ Blue Electric Storm ~ * ~ (talk) 23:08, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Last summer I spent the summer fishing on a drift boat in the Naknek and Egegik regions of Bristol Bay. I hope to spend time improving the page after learning about the dynamic region of Alaska. If anyone has interest in helping I would love some assistance. I made a Sandbox of changes and am going to update the page from the research found from the Bristol Bay community and online resources. Please feel free to give me some feedback.
