The AFSC monitors the health and sustainability of fish, marine mammals, and their habitats across nearly 1.5 million square miles of water surrounding Alaska, which produces more than half of the fish caught in the United States. The nation’s largest fishery observer program is managed by AFSC. The five research divisions that form AFSC are the Auke Bay Laboratories Division, Marine Mammal Laboratory Division, Fisheries Monitoring & Analysis Division, Resource Assessment & Conservation Engineering Division, and the Resource Ecology & Fisheries Management Division.
