ALASKA CHARTER
ASSOCIATION
To preserve and protect the rights and resources of Alaska's recreational angler.
ACA's Work is Crucial to the Viability of the Sport Fishing Sector in a Commercially-Driven Industry
- Your business success is linked to your client's continued fair and equitable access to fish.
- Regulators need to know charter operators need stable and predictable allocations and regulations in order to market their services.
- Regulators need to know the value of a recreational fishery not only in terms of economic importance, but the social and cultural benefits this brings to the sport fishing public.

Recreational Meeting in Homer
North Council staff and Kurt Iverson from the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) have arranged for a charter and recreational fishing meeting to be held in Homer during the Council's October meeting, time and place to be announced.
The meeting will be informal. The meeting will give a quick overview of the Council process, including the annual setting of charter management measures.
