    Kenai Mayor Pat Porter, left, speaks to Alaska Department of Fish and Game Commissioner Cora Campbell following a news conference on July 20, 2012, in Anchorage. Porter attended a news conference led by Campbell and Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell to address actions the state can take in light of the poor king salmon run statewide, affecting both subsistence, sport and commercial fishermen. During the 2013 legislative session, Parnell successfully lobbied for $30 million over five years to research king salmon and possible causes for the decline in productivity seen statewide.-Photo by Mark Thiessen, Associated Press
