Bristol Bay salmon account for roughly 1/3 of the total value of all Alaska salmon. It is the single most valuable wild salmon fishery in Alaska and in the world. But ex-vessel value for Bay sockeye is lower than sockeye harvested in most other Alaska regions - and the price gap is growing wider.

Until recently, no broad-based organization existed to promote Bristol Bay seafood, to work on improving quality or address infrastructure needs - all of which will help improve ex-vessel prices.

Bristol Bay driftnet permit holders are changing this. Recently passed Alaska state law authorizes the establishment of Regional Seafood Development Associations (RDSA's). Under this new law, an RSDA may market and promote the region's seafood, seek improvements to the area's infrastructure, work to raise quality.

It is the responsibility of all BB-RSDA members to make the best of the Association's potential for the future of our fishery.
