Link: Peninsula Clarion The state mandates the popular personal-use dipnet fishery at the mouth of the Kenai River each summer, but it's the city of Kenai that gets stuck with the hassles created by dipnetters, who are mostly from out of town. The city provides portable rest rooms, beach cleanup, medical response, police patrols and traffic control. "We didn't ask for this fishery. ... The state forced it on us," said Councilman Joe Moore last week. "We've been reacting ever since. It's not Kenai's responsibility to manage this fishery." The state responds: "If the city council is concerned, DEC is concerned," said Weld Royal, Department of Environmental Conservation spokesman. "We would welcome suggestions from the city council."
