Overview
Mission
To sustain and enhance valuable salmon resources of the state of Alaska for the economic, social, and cultural benefit of all citizens, and to promote public understanding of Alaska's salmon resources and salmon fisheries through research, education, and tourism.
What it reported doing in 2024
Hatchery programs - dipac, as a private non-profit (pnp) authorized by the state of Alaska, operates two hatchery facilities, macaulay and snettisham, and twelve remote rearing and release sites for the purpose of enhancing the state's common property fisheries. The state of Alaska department of fish and game issues permits which allow dipac to harvest a certain portion of the returning fish to generate revenue to cover operational costs. Dipac's goal is to contribute 70% of its production to the common property fisheries and 30% of production to the cost recovery harvest. During this 2024 tax reporting period, dipac's chum salmon return was 4.3 million fish, which was 118% of the pre-season forecast. The chinook and coho programs continued to provide valuable sport fishing opportunities throughout juneau, with an estimated 1,200 and 53,000 fish returning, respectively. The sockeye program produced added value to the areas sockeye gillnet and seine fleets, with approximately 35,000 adults harvested in gillnet and seine fleets. Overall, dipac provided significant opportunity for commercial and sport fish harvest, which were primarily supported by the chum program that achieved a 55% production contribution to common property fisheries.
