$398,701 spent9% of program spendingThe alaskan crab fisheries in the bering sea have been challenged by population declines in recent years, while populations of species such as black cod have been challenging to model accurately. Scientific studies have shown that changes in ocean temperatures have contributed to the recruitment, migration and survival of multiple commercial fisheries stocks, with impacts particularly strong in the north pacific and bering sea. Surveys of many species and ocean conditions have typically been conducted during the spring and summer months, opposite of the primary fishing seasons for the major fixed year fisheries including king and snow crab as well as black cod and halibut. Year-round environmental data and more complete in-season catch related data would potentially provide insights to better understand the dynamics of these challenged fisheries and help improve the efficiency and sustainability of operations.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $465k to $1.9M (+311%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 36% · 2018 21% · 2019 35% · 2020 54% · 2021 74% · 2022 46% · 2023 50% · 2024 37%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
