Kuskokwim region residents have lived a subsistence lifestyle for hundreds of years; relying on the land and sea to provide for themselves and their families.

Each summer, many native families travel to their traditional fish camps to harvest and process salmon for consumption during the harsh winter months.

Today, fishermen and women proudly harvest seafood from the same pristine Alaskan waters as they have done in the past.

In addition to fishing for their personal needs, Coastal Villages Seafoods provides them with the economic opportunity to be paid for their traditional endeavors so that they may have the means to participate in the evolving world economy.

CVS and our fishermen and women cooperate with federal oversight agencies to conduct a responsible seafood harvest, ensuring all of us a sustainable, well-managed resource for years to come.
