Welcome Newest Partnership Members!
Alaska Salmon Alliance
The Alaska Samon Alliance (ASA), is a 501(c)6 fisheries trade organization representing seafood processors and commercial fishermen of the Kenai Peninsula. ASA believes that wild Alaska Salmon are part of the cultural fabric of our state. They are woven into our past, our present and our future.
The Alaska Salmon Alliance is focused on public education, promoting the value of scientifically based salmon management to preserve habitats and create predictable harvests for all salmon users in the Cook Inlet region. ASA promotes long-term sustainability and is a source for accurate information about the salmon industry. We advocate for a thoughtful, process-oriented allocation of Cook Inlet salmon for the benefit of all Alaska.

“After attending a Symposium in 2010, I knew joining the Mat-Su Salmon Partnership was the right thing to do. It is a grassroots practical and reasonable organization dedicated to the preservation of salmon stocks in perpetuity.” – Arni Thomson, Executive Director ASA
Tyonek Tribal Conservation District
TTCD is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to conserve, enhance, and encourage the wise use of the natural resources within our District, which shares its boundaries with Game Management Unit 16B.
In 2005, Tyonek took a historic step and became the first village in Alaska to start a Tribal Conservation District. The Tyonek Tribal Conservation District was formed through a mutual agreement between the Native Village of Tyonek (NVT), the Tyonek Native Corporation (TNC), and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). TTCD is a non-regulatory entity that provides technical and financial assistance to District landowners to achieve their conservation goals.
Since hiring staff in 2011, TTCD has been involved in a variety of projects. In 2012, TTCD began developing a Natural Resource Assessment and Project Implementation Plan, funded through the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s Alaska Coastal Program. Also in 2012, TTCD worked with USFWS, ADF&G, the Kenai Peninsula Fish Habitat Partnership, and the Native Village of Tyonek to install a fish friendly culvert on Indian Creek in the Tyonek area.
