• Alaska’s long-term fisheries management success record is unparalleled virtually
  anywhere in the world
• No Alaska salmon or groundfish are classified as overfished, according to the
  latest “Report on the Status of the U.S. Fisheries,” published every year by the
  National Marine Fisheries Service
• An example of effective management: Alaska’s salmon harvests have increased
  well beyond historical levels with abundant salmon harvests for more than three
  decades
• Alaska’s approach has been validated in several ways:
  • For example, the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch lists wildcaught
    Alaska salmon as the only salmon to earn a “Best” rating.
  • The Pew Ocean Commission has praised the North Pacific Fishery
    Management Council for its conservative approach to groundfish fisheries
    management, particularly its extensive use of at-sea observers and its
    conservative Total Allowable Catch.
  • Additionally, Alaska meets or exceeds the principles and criteria of the
    Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations’ esteemed
    Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. Alaska has always subscribed
    to strictly regulated management practices and has long been recognized
    internationally as a template for sound fisheries management.
