SE drift gillnet permit holders of current events affecting the commercial
salmon industry. USAG stays in touch with the following departments
and organizations for issues affecting the commercial fishery:

a year to all SE AK drift permit holders. There is 479 permit holders
in the Southeast Alaska drift gillnet fishery. Associate members receive almost all of the
member benefits. They do receive all the newsletters, with advertising
included, but they do not receive other mailings sent to members who are
permit holders. USAG encourages its members to shop at and support our
Associate members. A link to their web page if they have one on the
