Well over 50,000 Alaskans are involved in fish and shellfish harvesting, seafood processing, fisheries science and management, and related enterprises. The UAF School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences serves the people of the state by preparing students for future employment opportunities in these fields. As seafood harvesting and processing, regulation, management and global businesses change, UAF needs your help in evolving education programs which support Alaska's fishing and seafood sector.
