When it comes to putting responsible practices into place to monitor and regulate industrial activities, the Alaskan fishing industry is a prime example which can serve as a model to be emulated for many other parts of the country and many other sectors of the economy. Historically, Alaskan fisheries have received a high level of attention and concern on behalf of the state and national governments, as well as ordinary Alaskans who took the initiative to preserve what for them was (and still is) a valuable local resource. One of the best examples of this phenomenon is crab sustainability, which has been carried out so diligently and professionally by all participants.
