NOAA official: Debunked IUU report threatened Alaska's reputation

NOAA's Chris Oliver is grateful for the retraction of a controversial science paper that threatened the reputation of Alaska seafood, and he hopes it doesn't happen again.

"The global reputation of US seafood as sustainable has been earned through many years of ensuring that management and policy decisions are based on the best available science, and we take protection of scientific integrity very seriously," says NOAA official Chris Oliver.
