Weekly Business Luncheon

Alaska Pollock 101 breaks down how the pollock fishery quietly powers Alaska’s economy, from year-round jobs and reliable tax revenue to global exports that support local businesses far beyond the dock. Caitlin Yeager & Julie Decker will walk audiences through how the fishery operates, who it employs, and why its scale and stability matter to communities across the state. The presentation also looks at how Alaska pollock connects to supply chains, transportation, manufacturing, and services that business leaders interact with every day. Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of how a single fishery functions as an economic engine, and why its long-term health is closely tied to Alaska’s broader business climate.
