Alaska groups join push to establish seafood council


A group of more than 60 seafood industry leaders throughout the U.S. signed a letter to Congress on May 5 asking for $25 million to develop a National Seafood Council to help promote their products. 
The group included Alaska industry leaders such as the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association and the North Pacific Fisheries Association, among others. 
If created, the council would aim to use marketing, research and education to help increase consumption of seafood in the U.S.
In the letter, industry leaders said Americans are not eating enough seafood. The signatories said they need help from the federal government in the form of a National Seafood Council to promote seafood consumption.  ....

Alaska fishermen cheer passage of Young Fishermen's Development Act through Congress
