Seat D – Sean Guffey’s Candidate Statement

I seek a position on the board to ensure Bristol Bay Salmon continue to hold a place in the marketplace as a choice that prioritizes sustainability and quality. As consumer dollars become scarcer, it will become more important that our salmon provide value to the consumer. It is important to the fleet that taxed dollars are spent wisely with purpose to increase value and prioritize long term commmitment to the resource. I have been involved in the Bay since 1992, and have seen many changes and cycles in markets and fish runs. I feel this experience would benefit the bord in decision making process.
