Advisory committees are local groups that meet to discuss fishing and wildlife issues and to provide recommendations to Alaska Board of Fisheries and Alaska Board of Game. All meetings are open to the public. Advisory Committees are intended to provide a local forum on fish and wildlife issues. Their purpose includes: 1) developing regulatory proposals, 2) evaluating regulatory proposals and making recommendations to the appropriate board, 3) providing a local forum for fish and wildlife conservation and use, including matters relating to habitat, and 4) cooperating and consulting with interested persons and organizations, including government agencies, and encourage youth and elder involvement in committee activities.

The Department of Fish and Game is committed to building a working environment based on mutual trust and respect between the department and the public, and among department staff. Fish and Game Advisory Committee members and staff are expected to conduct themselves in a respectful, appropriate, courteous, and professional manner at all times. 

If you are a person experiencing a disability who needs a special accommodation to participate in these public meetings, please contact the regional coordinator no later than 48 hours prior to the meeting to make any necessary arrangements.
