Arne Fuglvog has been replaced. Senator Lisa Murkowski announced today that Stefanie Moreland will serve as her new fisheries advisor.

Most recently, Moreland has served as the federal fisheries coordinator for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. She has also worked for the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission.

In addition to advising the senator on fisheries issues, Moreland will also be handling Arctic policy. She is expected to start the job in early November.

The position has been vacant since August, when Fuglvog resigned and pleaded guilty to illegal fishing.
