support our work

Safeguarding strong and diverse fisheries for future generations requires participation from every fisherman.

Together, we advocate for small business fishermen in political arenas like the Board of Fisheries and through legislative process at local, state, and federal levels. We work directly with the organizations that closely affect your business — the hatcheries, researchers and habitat conservationists, wild resource managers, tenders, processors, and marketers that help you and your wild product feed the world.

With your CDFU membership, you:

  • VOTE on leadership

  • PARTICIPATE with members to inform policy decisions

  • RECEIVE unwavering support for gear-group and fishery-specific matters

  • COLLABORATE with influential industry stakeholders

  • STAY INFORMED on policy shifts and public engagement opportunities

  • ENSURE weight and power in numbers for our collective future

Membership dues are a tax-deductible expense for your business. Dues directly support CDFU’s mission to strengthen commercial fishing industry in Prince William Sound.

If you are not a permit holder, you can join as a business member!
