Support Conservation & Local Fishermen with our Community Supported Fishery! 

It is, indeed, rare when supporting a cause you believe in not only makes you feel good, it actually tastes good. The Alaska Marine Conservation Council's CATCH of the SEASON does just that.

AMCC conducts a yearly Community Supported Fishery (CSF) that provides the opportunity to purchase Kodiak Tanner crab! This unique effort aims to link seafood consumers directly to our network of conservation minded, independent family fishermen.

AMCC offers a choice of 10 or 25 lb boxes of Tanner crab to residents of the Anchorage area, Kodiak and Homer. The Kodiak Tanner crab fishery occurs only once a year during a short (less than a week) season in January. We begin selling boxes of crab in December. 

The 2013 ordering season has wrapped up. We are happy to report that our third year of Catch of the Season was a tremendous success! Over 250 households, seven restaurants, and several lodges purchased crab through the program. Thank you to everyone who helped support the program this year! 

Make sure to sign up for our enews if you want to receive updates about the program for next year. Learn more about the 2013 program.

Our Work

The Alaska Marine Conservation Council is the only organization working statewide to protect the integrity of Alaska's marine ecosystems and sustain community-based fishing opportunities. CATCH of the SEASON provides direct support to both ocean conservation and independent fishermen whose sustainable harvesting practices set a vital standard. 

Our Goal

CATCH of the SEASON is helping to create unique markets for sustainable seafood harvested by community-based fishermen and build important connections between our fishing communities and urban Alaska. CATCH of the SEASON wild seafood is harvested using selective fishing practices that minimize waste and impacts on sensitive marine habitats.
