50 Years of Limited Entry: The Closing of Alaska’s Salmon Commons

The Kodiak Maritime Museum created this exhibit, 50 Years of Limited Entry: The Closing of Alaska’s Salmon Commons.

This thought-provoking new exhibit by the Kodiak Maritime Museum examined the conditions that spurred the creation of the Limited Entry Program, the effects it had on Alaska’s fishermen and fishing communities over the past half century, and recent proposals to address unintended consequences of the program.

Support for the project came from a Maritime Heritage Grant administered by the National Park Service and Alaska Office of History and Archaeology, City of Kodiak, Kodiak Community Foundation, Kodiak CHARR, Kodiak History Museum, and individual supporters of the Kodiak Maritime Museum.
