  This book is the final component in a three-part public awareness project to help Alaskans and non-Alaskans alike better understand Alaska's commercial fishing industry. The intent is to provide easy-to-digest, authoritative information about the history, fishing techniques, species harvested, and management of this colorful, complicated and controversial business. Throu​ghout this book, the authors point out some of the most critical challenges facing the industry and describe how fishermen, policy makers, resource managers, and other concerned parties are addressing the problems. The ultimate goal for this publication is that it will lead to a better understanding of the Alaska commercial fishing industry and the role it plays in the state, national, and international communities.
