What is the Board of Fish?
The State Board of Fisheries (BOF) was established under Alaska Statute to conserve and develop Alaska’s fishery resources. The board creates and amends policy decisions for Alaska commercial, subsistence, sport, and personal use fishing regulations for management.
The Board is comprised of seven members who serve three year terms. These members are appointed by the Governor, then approved through committees in the State Legislature before being seated to the board.
Many proposals to the BOF affect fishing area, time, method and allocation. Your engagement is crucial to your fishery.
CDFU participates at all BOF meetings and works directly with regional fishermen to empower Area E public comments and proposals.
