Bristol Bay Sockeye is a marketing initiative of the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association, the organization that represents 1,850 salmon driftnet fishermen in Bristol Bay, Alaska.
In the summer of 2005, a group of Bristol Bay fishermen applied to the State of Alaska to establish a Regional Seafood Development Association, or RSDA. Following a review, the state approved that application and the Bristol Bay RSDA was launched.
The BBRSDA is the only fleetwide organization specifically mandated to advance the quality and market-success of Bristol Bay salmon, address fishery-related infrastructure requirements in the Bristol Bay region; and create research and education programs to ensure long-term success of the world’s largest and most valuable salmon fishery.
Our consumer website, Bristol Bay Sockeye, is designed to educate and serve consumers, retailers and restaurants in their quest to better understand and utilize the wild and nutrient rich sockeye from our remote and pristine Alaska region.
