Major Activities

Activity 2

The alaska crab coalition also represents the bering sea crab fleet and several of the major crab processing companies to the u.s. Congress and it has been called to testify on the magnuson-stevens act provisions on numerous occasions over the years. In 2004, after a concerted fifteen year effort at the npfmc, the board of fisheries and within the u.s. Congress, the alaska crab coalition succeeded in achieving significant legislation to establish a three pie quota share program for fishermen, processors and communities that will save lives and contribute immensely to the rebuilding and future sustainability of king and tanner crab resources and the future economic stability of fishermen, processors and coastal communities of the bering sea. The program was signed into law by president george w. Bush on january 23, 2004, embedded into the consolidated appropriations act, 2004, h.r. 2673.

Activity 3

The alaska crab coalition currently represents the ownership entities of forty bering sea crab vessels and an additional thirty pacific northwest and alaska companies that service and supply the bering sea crab fleet. However, the alaska crab coalition is the major organization representing the bering sea crab fleet, which comprises 250 vessels. In conclusion, it is fair to say that the alaska crab coaltion's efforts and accomplishments benefit hundreds of fishermen, hundreds of shoreside support service employees and an equal number of crab processing workers involved in the production, processing and marketing of king and tanner products.
