The office of Boards and Commissions are seeking nominees for the Commercial Fishery Entry Commission (CFEC). With the resignation of Commissioner Brown effective December 1, and Commissioner Twomley retiring in March, the need is clear. You need not be an attorney & you cannot be a current CFEC permit holder. Please submit applications here.

CFEC posted proposed regulations to allow pot gear in the Southern Southeast Inside sablefish fishery (C61C) in response to the October 25th letter from the Board of Fish requesting CFEC conduct a regulatory review of the fishery. If the proposed regulation is adopted, the Board of Fish would take up any regulatory actions under its authority at the 2018 Southeast Finfish meeting. The proposed regulation is here: https://www.cfec.state.ak.us/mnu_Regulations.htm A public meeting will be held February 17, 2017 at the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission from 3-4:30pm. If you would like to participate by phone, please contact Doug Rickey at CFEC by email [email protected], or phone (907)790-6963. Written comments will be accepted until 4:30pm on February 17 sent to: Doug Rickey Commercial Read more…

The legislative audit of CFEC is available. The audit was requested to find if efficiencies and cost savings could be achieved by consolidating CFEC into the ADF&G now that the State’s fisheries are stabilized in terms of limited entry.
