Site offers one-stop resource for fishermen.(FISHING)

Commercial fishermen and seafood processors now can turn to a single Web site, aptly called AlaskaFishBiz.org, for information and resources about financing, small business development, education and training, and other seafood industry business needs and services.

The Web site is part of the Alaska Fisheries Business Assistance Project, or FishBiz. Created by the Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program (MAP), FishBiz aims to help Alaska fishermen and seafood processors improve their skills in business, seafood handling, quality control and marketing. The Alaska Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and National Sea Grant fund the FishBiz project.
