It is vital that we continue our understanding of the changing oceans, investing in research that informs how we can best adapt to these constantly evolving conditions.
Alaska’s management is defined by stakeholder engagement, holistic ecosystem management and world-class scientific data. Continuing the model of management focused on communities, ecosystems and science is essential to proactively managing our resources in the face of the changes taking place all around us.
Innovation is a cornerstone of effective adaptation, and those involved in Alaska’s fisheries – from family-owned fishing boats to processors to industry research and development – are nothing if not innovative. Alaska’s commercial seafood management system has been built to change and adapt, with innovation playing a key role in ensuring that adaptation and flexibility in anticipation of unforeseen challenges.
Seafood will continue to sustain Alaska. Looking forward: we have the chance today to determine how this will play out. Yes, there are challenges ahead, but in taking a big step back and looking at how Alaska earned its status as the world leader in responsible fisheries management, we can see the effective collaboration between all sectors with interests in the marine environment: scientists, policymakers, conservationists, industry, and the communities themselves.
