The Alaska Longline Fishermen's Association (ALFA) is a coalition of small-boat commercial fishermen dedicated to advocating for sustainable fisheries and strengthening coastal communities since its establishment in 1978. Through collaborative research and advocacy, ALFA aims to secure healthy populations of halibut, sablefish, and rockfish while promoting ocean health and the economic viability of small-boat fishing.
ALFA also champions the next generation of fishermen through initiatives like the Young Fishermen's Initiative, ensuring that residents of Alaska's coastal areas have continued access to local fisheries. With a strong emphasis on climate action and sustainable practices, ALFA engages fishermen and scientists to address pressing environmental challenges and foster responsible resource management.
