Overview
The focus of the
Office of Fisheries Development is on increasing the value of Alaska’s
seafood harvest and processing industry. As Alaska’s oil resource
declines, it is crucial to increase the value of fisheries for Alaska.
Alaska fisheries will become more valuable through:
- Sustainable management of Alaska’s fisheries;
- Development of innovative, market driven seafood products;
- Greater value added production in Alaska;
- Improved quality of Alaska seafood;
- Capital accumulation for seafood industry investment;
- Promotion of participation and investment by Alaskans and coastal communities;
- Improvements in technology to utilization of the fishery resource; and
- Enhanced infrastructure to lower costs.
