NORTH PACIFIC FISHERIES

North Pacific Fisheries Association (NPFA) was incorporated in 1955. Its primary function for two decades was as a marketing entity. It served as a vehicle for negotiating salmon prices in both the Cook Inlet seine and gillnet commercial fisheries. As the post statehood salmon fisheries expanded and commercial fishing in general developed, the scope of NPFA's role expanded to include local crab price negotiations... For over 60 years, NPFA has been a source of information for fishermen and an entity through which their concerns may be addressed in fisheries related issues. We are working hard to preserve and protect Alaska's commercial fisheries for generations to come... With the advent of halibut IFQ's, NPFA became active in both halibut and groundfish topics, working to keep its members and surrounding area fishermen up to date on the evolving management structure.
