This session offers a check-in on the state of Alaska fisheries — combining economic and market data with an industry conversation about the trends and developments shaping the sector. Led by local seafood industry organizations, attendees will gain a clearer picture of where the market is headed, and what’s happening across the industry. 

The session opens with a presentation of economic and market data, covering Alaska seafood’s performance and global market position. It then shifts to a moderated discussion exploring what the numbers don’t capture. Panelists will discuss emerging technologies and innovative projects, how shifting global trends are affecting local fishing communities, and new regional initiatives worth knowing about, supporting, or connecting with.
