Alaska Marine Community Coalition
Environment
Alaska's oceans are some of the most intact and productive marine ecosystems remaining on our planet, sustaining fisheries vital to jobs, cultures, and unique ways of life. In fact, fishing-related industries in the state employ more people than any other private sector. Despite their comparatively robust condition, our oceans and wild fisheries face threats from climate change, unsustainable fishing practices, and more. With your support through FashionPact, AMCC will be better positioned to advance common sense, science-based solutions to strengthen their resilience and the communities that depend on them.
AMCC was formed in 1994 by fishing communities on the belief that long-term stewardship of our marine ecosystems and wild fisheries depends on fishermen and subsistence harvesters being able to live, work, and thrive in our communities. As those most closely connected to these resources, they are the most effective advocates for their conservation. Foundational to our efforts is educating, organizing, and elevating the voices of these local leaders to protect what we value.
