Alaska Community Profiles
Profiles Update
The Alaska Fisheries Science Center is planning to update the Alaskan community profiles
to include new U.S. Census data from 2010 and input from the communities and industry. A
critical part of this process will be to engage communities and industry representatives to
help improve the profiles. To find out more about how your input can be part of
the process, click here: 2011 Alaska Community Profiles Updates

In 2005, the Alaska Fisheries Science Center compiled baseline socioeconomic information
about 136 Alaska communities most involved in commercial fisheries. Communities were
selected by assessing fishery-involvement indicators including landings, processors, vessel
homeports, vessel ownership, crew licenses, and gear operator permits. The profiles
compile information from the US Census, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Alaska
Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, National Marine Fisheries Service Restricted
Access Management Division, Alaska Department of Community and Economic
Development, and various community groups, websites, and archives. Each profile contains
information about location, demography, history, current economy, governance, facilities,
commercial fisheries, recreational fisheries and subsistence fisheries. Introductory materials
cover purpose, methods, and an overview of the profiled communities in the larger context
of the state of Alaska and North Pacific fisheries. The profiles were published as NOAA
Technical Memorandum NMFS-AFSC-160 in December 2005. The report can be
downloaded as a complete document (17.6 MB) from
http://www.afsc.noaa.gov/Publications/AFSC-TM/NOAA-TM-AFSC-160/NOAA-TM-AFSC160.pdf. All information in the report is reproduced below in links to small pdf files for
easier access. For more information or to comment on this project, contact

Profiles of 125 communities outside of Alaska (from Washington to New Jersey) involved in
North Pacific fisheries were completed in conjunction with profiles of West Coast fishing
communities, and are available in preliminary draft form at
http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/research/divisions/sd/communityprofiles/index.cfm.
