		FAO Checklist The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is the internationally recognized authority on sustainable food production. The FAO's Fisheries and Aquaculture Department has developed and promulgated comprehensive principles, criteria, and methods for sustainable management of wild-capture fisheries. Their checklist is one of those documents. The FAO checklist poses a lengthy and detailed series of questions on sustainable fisheries management: it is the original, internationally recognized standard. This document presents Alaska's answers to FAO's questions/checklist. These answers were developed by the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI), and reviewed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) and North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC).
