Description:This report covers the first year of activity of the University of Alaska's newest fishery unit, the Fishery Industrial Technology Center. The establishment of the center represents a positive step by the State of Alaska and by the university in addressing the needs of the Alaska fishing industry The Fishery Industrial Technology Center was established by the University of Alaska on July 15, 1981. The center, created by the 12th Alaska Legislature, has the primary charge to create employment opportunities in the state's fishing industry. These opportunities are to be stimulated by providing training opportunities on the most efficient and appropriate technologies for the harvesting, processing and conservation of Alaska's fisheries resources. The center also provides for research and development activities to adapt existing technologies and to create new technologies which will enhance the effectiveness of the industry. Activities of the center during this period were directed toward the establishment of the center's administrative structure, toward facilities planning, and toward the establishment of the center's initial educational programs. Although the activities were primarily handled out of the university Office for Fisheries in Fairbanks, an office was established in Kodiak and planning was structured through the center's parent organization, the Community Colleges, Rural Education and Extension component of the university.
