2. Introduction
As the CEO and president, Charles Clement is in
charge of the South East Alaska Regional Health
Consortium (SEARHC) in Juneau, Alaska. When
he is not busy with his professional duties,
Charles Clement serves charitable organizations
such as the Halibut Coalition.
The Halibut Coalition works to ensure that halibut
fish in the Pacific are properly managed and not
overfished, to protect them from becoming
endangered. The nonprofit also strives to make
sure that the fish are allocated to more than just
one area.
3. Halibut Coalition
Some of the measures taken to protect the fish
include imposing rules that are for their benefit. In
May of 2009, it was ruled that charter boat
anglers could keep only one halibut per day. The
organization stated that for too long Southeast
Alaska was overfished for this species, and it was
in the best interest of both the fish and the
residents to limit how many could be caught. The
Halibut Coalition went on to say that this was the
best way to teach fishermen to become
responsible in their fishing and conserve natural
resources.
