All fish and game of the State of Alaska belong directly to the citizen, not corporate or special interests. The citizen elects the governor and representatives of government to protect, with priority, the resources of Alaska for the individual citizens of Alaska. 

It is overtly clear that corporate and special interests, through financial campaign support, have taken control of this vital resource. The end result of this corporate management is a severe loss of the resource. One only needs to focus on one aspect of this resource, the depletion of King Salmon, to determine that management is defined by corporate greed, not by proper resource protection and certainly not by a citizens' priority.

The American Party of Alaska stands firmly on the principle that all fish and game resources belong directly to the citizens of Alaska as a priority. Must be managed by the State of Alaska exclusively.

We support individual harvesting as the highest priority. 

The American Party of Alaska is also adamantly opposed to trawler bycatch which is depleting the adjacent oceans of Alaska through indiscriminate "scrape and take" tactics. The citizens of Alaska must identify politicians who receive funding from the trawler industry. Members of the The American Party of Alaska are encouraged to oppose any politician who receives funding donations from the trawling industry.  Alaska oceans, which are the birthing zone of our once rich fishing industry is directly under attack.

Alaskan fish for Alaskan markets must be our highest priority.
