Our Work
AMCC advances conservation solutions that address the interdependence between healthy marine ecosystems, vibrant local economies and rich coastal traditions. We work to conserve Alaska’s world-renowned wild fisheries and diverse marine life through community outreach, grassroots advocacy, public policy, research and education.

Address Ocean Acidification & Climate Change The rapid loss of ice in the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean is just one indication that the impacts of global warming are - and will continue to be - more serious in Alaska. As frontline witnesses, Alaskans can and must play a vital role in climate change research and advocacy. |

Conserve Fisheries & Marine Life AMCC works to protect sensitive seafloor habitats from bottom trawling and to minimize the incidental catch of nontarget species, known as bycatch. |
 |
Sustain Working Waterfronts AMCC promotes sustainable fishing practices, local stewardship and the preservation of opportunities for future generations of fishermen as key elements of fisheries conservation and management. |
 |
Protect Bristol Bay Alaska’s Bristol Bay region supports the world’s largest wild run of sockeye salmon and provides more than 40% of total domestic fish catch. Friends of Bristol Bay is our program to restore protection for this extraordinary marine ecosystem now targeted for offshore oil and gas development. |
 |
Oppose Finfish Farming Proposed legislation would open U.S. federal offshore waters to finfish farming, a practice known to pose risks to wild fish stocks and to hurt local fishing economies. AMCC opposes finfish farming and works to promote and protect healthy wild fisheries. |
