The mission of the Bristol Bay Driftnetters’ Association is to enhance the Bristol Bay Drift Net Fishery by advocating for the viability of Bristol Bay’s fish resources; and to promote awareness of policy issues that affect the well being and businesses of the Drift Net Fishermen who use this renewable resource.
BBDA keeps Bristol Bay Drift Fishermen informed about: Board of Fish Proposals, setnet / driftnet issues, illegal high seas fishing and other intercept fisheries, safety regulations, and marketing, as well as many other factors that impact our fishery.
