May 21, 2025 — The Juneau, Alaska-based Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI) has released its 2024 annual report, highlighting the successes and challenges of a sector under pressure from both the setbacks of recent Alaskan history and the pressures of retaliatory tariffs in response to U.S. President Trump’s trade war.
“Commercial fishing is woven into the fabric of our economy, culture, and way of life,” said ASMI Executive Director Jeremy Woodrow, who called the sector an “industry worth fighting for” in his annual report message.
