The Alaska Research Consortium (ARC) is a 501(c)(3) community/industry organization that advocates for sustainable fisheries, marine science and the blue economy in the North Pacific. ARC engages with a wide range of stakeholders whose aim is long-term economic opportunities through a sustainable seafood industry. This, in turn, supports Alaska’s economy and its coastal communities. In 2016, the seafood industry and community members formed the Alaska Research Consortium (ARC) in response to the potential closure of the Kodiak Seafood and Marine Science Center (KSMSC), operated by the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
To date, ARC has:
