Our Fleet: Fisheries Fuel the Future

In 2021, our Bering Sea fleet caught more than 126 million pounds of pollock, cod, and crab and generated more than $100 million in revenue from sales of these fish products.

CVRF leveraged this revenue to fund a wide variety of programs — including education, youth employment, elder benefits, and scholarship programs — that invest not only in today’s communities but also in the future of Western Alaska. By funding a full suite of programs that assist residents at every stage of their life, from their youth through adulthood and into their elder years, we help in developing the region’s economy.

This would not be possible without the innovative, sustainable operations of our Bering Sea fleet and the crew and staff members working diligently to maintain them during global crisis. Despite the ongoing challenges of the pandemic, our Bering Sea fleet ended 2021 with a perfect record of zero onboard COVID cases (it was the second year in a row we achieved this success). Our thanks go out to LORENA ROSENBERGER and MICHAEL COLEMAN, who help run our fishing operation, as well as to the dedicated crew members who put in the work, day in, day out, to fish our quota sustainably and with the long-term health of the resource in mind. We look forward to continuing this work and providing tangible benefits to our residents for generations to come.
