Low clouds hang over Kodiak’s St. Paul Harbor on Oct. 3, 2022. Economic woes in Alaska’s seafood industry have affected numerous fishing-dependent communities like Kodiak.

The task force is due to produce a report, with recommendations for action, at the start of the 2025 legislative session.As described by experts who testified at the task force’s most recent hearings, the causes of the crisis hitting nearly all sectors of Alaska’s seafood industry are myriad. That includes increasing hatchery releases from Asia that are crowding the ocean that Alaska fish use, he said. And it includes pen-reared salmon, he said.

Senate President Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, the chair of the task force, noted that lawmakers approved increased funding for ASMI last year, but that Gov. Mike Dunleavy vetoed the increase.
