The Bering Sea Fishermen's Association has been awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Pacific Salmon Treaty Program (CFDA 11.438). The 5-year grant, which began on September 1, 2023, will support the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim Tribal Research and Restoration Program (AYKTRRP). Through this program, the Bering Sea Fishermen's Association, a non-profit organization that serves Alaska Native tribes, will conduct research, monitoring, assessment, planning, and coordination activities to aid in the recovery and sustainability of critical salmon populations in Western Alaska. The goal is to rebuild salmon stocks and provide relief to resource-dependent communities in the region that have been impacted by recent salmon declines.
