About Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute
For more than 50 years, Alaska has been dedicated to sustainable seafood. The seafood industry is Alaska’s largest private sector employer. As a result, Alaskans understand the need to protect the fisheries and surrounding habitats for future generations.
To help the world discover more about Alaska seafood, ASMI works in the United States and in key overseas markets promoting Alaska seafood and offering seafood industry education.
ASMI is a partnership of the State of Alaska and the Alaska seafood industry. ASMI's international marketing efforts are supported by the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service through the Market Access Program.
Effective, precise management assures Alaska’s fisheries are productive, sustainable, clean, and healthy-as mandated by the Alaska state government. Since admittance into the Union as the 49th state in 1959, Alaska has served as a model of fisheries management around the globe. One reason for this is that Alaska remains the lone state in the nation with a constitutional mandate stipulating all fish "be utilized, developed and maintained on the sustained yield principle”.
