BBSRI

BBSRI is a regional non-profit research organization founded in 1998. Our mission is to conduct applied research and monitoring to improve the well-being of residents of Bristol Bay, Alaska with an emphasis on the Bay's fish stocks and fisheries... Over the years, BBSRI has brought financial and technical resources, and focus to important topics and research needs that typically "fall between the cracks" of agencies with declining budgets and/or constrained by narrow mandates. For example, the State of Alaska is responsible for ensuring that the Bay salmon fishery provides a sustainable catch over time, but no state or federal agency has a mandate to ensure economic vitality of the fishery. Stemming directly from its mission, much of BBSRI's work over the last 20 years has been toward fostering the economic health and vitality of the region and its residents.
