Securing Alaska's Future

It does not make sense to turn off one of Alaska's main economic engines.

Supporting local governments, infrastructure, and essential services across the state. Communities succeed when Alaskan fisheries succeed as well.

Alaska’s seafood industry doesn’t just feed America, it helps feed communities in need.

.@MaryPeltola, Alaska's fisheries are some of the best-managed in the world. Commercial fishing provides thousands of jobs to Alaska residents.  How are they supposed to feed their families with no work? #AskMary Get the facts: securingalaskasfuture.org/by-the-numbers…

There’s a growing push from outside activist groups to LOCK DOWN Alaska’s fisheries.   But Alaska’s fisheries are already among the most sustainably managed in the world, powering nearly 60% of all U.S. wild-caught #seafood.   We can’t let extreme proposals undermine one of Alaska’s economic backbones.   Responsible management. Strong communities. A future that works for Alaska.   Learn more at securingalaskasfuture.org

Our feeds have been swarmed with activists calling for Alaska’s fisheries to be shut down. But then what? What replaces those thousands of jobs? The billions in revenue? Alaska’s fisheries support families, sustain communities, and help keep our state affordable. It’s an industry worth defending.

Alaska’s fisheries are getting national attention, and that’s a good thing. This week, lawmakers in Maryland pointed to Alaska’s seafood industry as a model for how fisheries should work. That kind of recognition doesn’t happen by accident. Alaska’s fisheries are sustainable and built to last. They support local jobs and coastal communities across the state while setting a standard other states look to. When other states look north for answers, it shows that Alaska’s approach isn’t just good for us. It’s shaping the future of fisheries everywhere. somdnews.com/news/state/mar…

Alaska needs stronger infrastructure, modern ports, and affordable energy. Shutting down one of our most reliable economic drivers won’t get us there. Stand up for Alaska’s working waterfronts. Add your name: securingalaskasfuture.org

Alaska’s fishing economy supports 17,000 jobs and generates $5.6 billion every year. Securing Alaska’s Future works to protect the policies that keep those jobs and communities strong. Sign up at securingalaskasfuture.org to stay informed and take action when it matters.

Did you know that 60% of the total US seafood harvest is caught in Alaska? Our waters don’t just feed the nation but keep the lights on in-state. With 11 local governments in Alaska relying on seafood as their top source of tax revenue, fishing remains critical to the health of the state. Want to see how else fishing is powering Alaska?

Alaska fisheries are complicated. An honest conversation about the future of fishing in Alaska, "requires transparency about who will be most impacted, and it isn’t out-of-state factory trawlers; it’s Alaskans in Gulf of Alaska communities.” Check out this op-ed from @AEBSouthwestAK In @adndotcom 🧵👇 adn.com/opinions/2026/……

Commercial fishing is a powerhouse for Alaska’s economy. 💰 $5.6 billion in total economic output flows through our communities each year because of fishing. That’s small businesses, families, and towns across the state. See how fishing supports your community: securingalaskasfuture.org/by-the-numbers…

Shutting the industry down would drive prices up across the board.

The number of jobs that would vanish if commercial fishing was shut down could fill the Sullivan Arena over three times.

Alaska’s future is being decided right now, and silence isn’t an option. Join us today and be a part of what comes next: securingalaskasfuture.org

The economic future of Alaska depends on commercial fishing, we can’t afford to leave our own behind.

Alaska can increase its GDP unless we listen to those who want to crater our economy and communities...
