Cordova District Fishermen United (CDFU) is a 501(c)(5) nonprofit organization that has been advocating for the needs of community-based fishermen in the Prince William Sound region since 1935. Representing over 900 commercial fishermen and their families, CDFU promotes safety at sea, legislation, conservation, management, and general welfare to ensure the sustainability of the wild resources in Alaska's Area E waters. With a strong board and a structure of divisions, CDFU addresses gear-specific and allocative issues to support the thriving fisheries and ways of life in the region.
Originally known as the Cordova District Fisheries Union, CDFU changed its name and IRS status in the early 1980s to become a politically charged nonprofit organization. Involved in various aspects of the fishing industry, CDFU plays a vital role in shaping the future viability and security of the area's fishing interests. As the organization continues to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of the fishing industry, CDFU remains committed to representing and advocating for the well-being of its members and the sustainable fisheries in the Prince William Sound region.
