Alaska Sustainable Fisheries Trust (ASFT)

We aim to educate, activate, and inspire consumers, while engaging community-based fishermen in programs that promote healthy fisheries. By combining ecology, economics, and the common good, we work to ensure resilient communities and robust resources throughout coastal Alaska.

Southeast Alaska is home to some of the Earth’s healthiest and most robust wild fisheries.  An aging fleet, increasing cost of entry to limited access fisheries, and more and more out of state vessel owners threaten local traditions of marine stewardship. Coastal fishing communities face uncertain futures. We aim to protect these communities and the fisheries that sustain them.
