Fishermen would be able to sell an expanded line of products from their boats at Fishermen’s Terminal  without paying for the privilege under a proposal approved Friday.  The task force that included both fishermen and the owners of a terminal seafood market who were concerned about retail competition approved the plan.

The unanimous agreement by a subcommittee of the Fishermen’s Terminal Advisory Council could help resolve the long-simmering controversy over retail sales by fishermen at the terminal’s west wall according to an article in the PI.  The issue of what fishermen can sell from their boats at the terminal has been in dispute for years.   The elected Port Commission, which governs port operations will ultimately decide what to do.
