Say No to Offshore Finfish Farms in Alaska
A new bill in Congress, the Marine Aquaculture Research for America (MARA) Act of 2025, is drawing attention in Washington, D.C. The proposal seeks to boost federal support for large-scale offshore fish farming in U.S. waters. Now is the time to speak up. Contact Alaska’s congressional delegation and the Senate Commerce Committee to keep offshore farming out of U.S. waters.
Help Defend Pacific Halibut
Last February, AMCC joined the Halibut Defense Alliance to help defend Bering Sea halibut bycatch limits in court. On November 8, 2024, the U.S. District Court upheld Amendment 123, a decision that protects abundance-based bycatch limits and supports halibut users, fishing families and halibut-dependent communities across Alaska. While this ruling is a big step forward, there’s still work to do—we’re closing in on the remaining $40,000 needed to see this effort through. Please help us get over the finish line!
