Alaska walleye pollock is the second-largest fishery in the world. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) manages the fishery in U.S. waters. Every summer, NOAA conducts targeted acoustic surveys and trawling in the North Pacific Ocean to determine the abundance and distribution of walleye pollock. The data informs stock assessment and management models to ensure a sustainable fishery. Our speaker recently sailed on the NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson in the Gulf of Alaska and will share the importance of pollock fisheries and how science is conducted at sea.
