About Alaska Salmon Alliance

ADVOCATING FOR ALASKA’S SALMON ECONOMY

Wild Alaska Salmon are part of the cultural fabric of our state. They are woven into our past, our present and our future. The Alaska Salmon Alliance is an organization focused on public education, promoting the value of scientifically based salmon management to preserve habitats and create predictable harvests for all salmon users in the Cook Inlet region. Alaska Salmon Alliance promotes long-term sustainability and is a source for accurate information about the salmon industry. The Alaska Salmon Alliance Mission is to advocate for the salmon economy, for a thoughtful, process-oriented allocation of Cook Inlet salmon for the benefit of all Alaskans.

The Alaska Salmon Alliance advocate for and promotes science-based salmon policies that will result in long term economic opportunities and benefits for Alaska’s coastal communities for future generations. To this end, ASA endeavors to develop positive working relationships with the Alaska Board of Fisheries, the Alaska Legislature, Kenai Peninsula Borough and residents of the Kenai Peninsula region. ASA also collaborates with other organizations to protect and enhance the salmon resources of the region, sustain a year-round economy and to insure the future of the Alaska salmon industry.
