life, and to promote the health of
harbor seals in order to carry
forward the cultural, spiritual,

Alaska Natives."
The Alaska Native Harbor Seal Commission

Organized in 1995 as a nonprofit tribal consortium comprised of Alaska Native communities within the
harbor seal habitat  range. The overall goal of the commission is to strengthen and increase the role
of Alaska Natives in resource management and decisions affecting the harbor seals and their uses.  
The Commission helps foster this through our co-management agreement for data analysis,
population monitoring and harvest assessment.  

Alaska Natives are concerned about the stewardship of their wildlife resources as well as, preserving
their traditional way of life. The Alaska Native Harbor Seal Commission also educates the public on
traditional use of marine mammals including non-wasteful hunting practices.  If you would like to assist
