PROPOSED KRPGA CHANGES

KRPGA Mission Statement

( Note : "Maximum sustainable yield" has been changed to "optimal yield ". )

Committed to Conservation & Promoting the
Kenai & Kasilof River Sportfish Charter Industry

The Kenai River Professional Guide Association (KRPGA) has been the
Kenai & Kasilof Rivers leading salmon and trout conservation / charter
organization. Members are dedicated to conserving and developing
Kenai & Kasilof River coldwater fisheries and their watersheds.
The association is constantly involved in working to obtain guided
angler friendly political representatives, teaching kids how important
it is to protect our fishery habitat while also developing those fisheries
resources to an optimal yield. KRPGA members are actively engaged in the
fight to preserve our precious salmon and trout resources while at the same
time obtaining fair fisheries allocation opportunities for the Alaskan guided angler.
We as an organization desire to promote professional sport fish access
while minimizing the displacement of private common USER access to those
resources. We as an organization desire to position the KRPGA to be a
platform where our many professional members may have a single unified voice.
