Economist Garrett Evridge offers this concise overview of Alaska's seafood industry crisis:
1. Our plants and fleet are old, costly and inefficient.
2. Weak markets, combined with increasing operating costs, threaten the viability of our fisheries.
3. Investment and new business models are required to be competitive and profitable.
4. Declining profitability limits the ability to fund required investment.
