The Southeast Alaska Regional Dive Fisheries Association (SARDFA) is a private non-profit organization that represents harvest divers, processors, and communities in Southeast Alaska. Established in 1998, SARDFA collaborates with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game to develop and implement an Annual Operating Plan, ensuring the responsible and sustainable use of dive resources through a self-imposed tax. With a mission to expand and enhance dive fisheries in the region, SARDFA operates under the guidance of an elected Board of Directors and actively engages with industry, government, communities, and other stakeholders. SARDFA's innovative approach to resource development fosters partnerships and cooperation among various entities, aiming for the most effective and efficient utilization of natural resources. The organization comprises five committees that provide specialized advice to the Board of Directors, while an executive director oversees the implementation of their directives. Working closely with state departments, businesses, organizations, and the diving community, SARDFA plays a vital role in promoting the sustainable growth of dive fisheries in Southeast Alaska.Generated from the website
