Join us to learn beginning crew skills, marine safety, and more, and take advantage of the opportunity to talk with skippers.

The AK On-Board program is a series of regional hands-on training opportunities for beginning commercial fishermen. The program is led by Alaska Sea Grant, Alaska Marine Safety Education Association, Alaska Longline Fishermen’s Association, Alaska Marine Conservation Council, and regional partners to help new crewmembers gain basic crew skills, learn about marine safety, network with prospective employers, and meet other people in the industry. This three-day workshop is regionally focused by our local planning committee and includes a mix of hands-on activities, lectures, discussion panels, and more.

Training and activities include:

Introduction to Alaska ﬁsheries

Knot tying

Life on the water

Boat handling and navigation

Beginning mechanics

Crew contracts

Gear repair

Seafood handling
