"Relating to the support of fisheries education, training, and research and encouraging collaborative efforts between the state, the University of Alaska, and other educational institutions to provide fisheries education programs."

SCR 19, "Relating to the support of fisheries education, training, and research and encouraging collaborative efforts between the state, the University of Alaska, and other educational institutions to provide fisheries education programs", comes before you as a recommendation from the Legislative Salmon Industry Task Force.

This resolution emphasizes the importance of fisheries education, training and research as a long-term solution for revitalizing the fishing and seafood industry.

Currently, there are no educational institutions in the United States that offer a seafood business degree; therefore, this resolution recommends that the education providers in this state collaborate to develop and provide fisheries education programs in Alaska.

I encourage you to support this resolution.
