Action Agenda :: Long Term Agenda
Issues will always confront our industry, whether they are about sharing fairly the conservation burden to assure a long-term future of the marine resources on which our future depends, or devising the smartest regulations to allow us to offer our customers a predictable and satisfying experience, around which we can all build our businesses and benefit our fellow Alaskans.
Our goal as SEAGO is to always be an effective voice on all the challenges confronting charter fishing in Southeast Alaska. And that will require building the credibility and clout to gain the “seat at the table” charter fishers have never had:
-
A Southeast Charter seat on Board of Fisheries
-
A Southeast Charter seat on the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council
-
Access to the Governor’s office and the Governor.
-
Access to the Commissioner and Sport Fish Director at Alaska Department of Fish and Game
-
Consideration as a player at all levels of decision making. Currently when the state and the feds move forward they check in with commercial organizations for input. We expect the same for SEAGO
- The guided sport industry is a major contributor to the economy of our communities, Southeast Alaska, and the State of Alaska.
SEAGO will work tirelessly to give our industry a legitimate voice in our future.
