Alaska Longline Fisherman's Assoc

The Alaska Longline Fishermen's Association (ALFA) is an alliance of small boat commercial fishermen dedicated to promoting sustainable fisheries and supporting coastal communities in Alaska. Established in 1978, ALFA has successfully advocated for longline fishermen, ensuring their access to healthy halibut, sablefish, and rockfish stocks through science-based fisheries management.

ALFA facilitates cooperative research between local fishermen and scientists via its Fishery Conservation Network, addressing shared challenges and concerns. Committed to fostering the next generation of fishermen, ALFA actively supports initiatives that ensure residents of Alaska's coastal communities can access and benefit from the region's fisheries.
