Project Overview:

The National Marine Fisheries Service, a bureau of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Department of Commerce, provides science-based stewardship of the nation’s living marine resources and their habitat. The Alaska Region is one of five regional offices that together support marine resource management in all Federal waters. Alaska’s fisheries contribute to $6.5 billion per year in economic output and provide more than 60% of the total United States seafood harvest.1
