AMCC is dedicated to advancing an approach to conservation that recognizes that healthy ecosystems are the foundation of strong local economies and lasting cultural traditions in coastal Alaska. AMCC focuses on key fishery conservation challenges in Alaska like bycatch and ocean acidification and socio-economic challenges related to sustaining low-impact fishing businesses.
To protect the integrity of Alaska’s marine ecosystems and promote healthy, ocean-dependent coastal communities.
We work to protect and restore the marine environment through sustainable fishing practices, habitat protection, and local stewardship. We support an ecosystem-based approach to research and marine resource management that incorporates the best science available, experiential knowledge, and the wisdom of tradition.
