Coastal Villages Pollock LLC is a significant player in the fishing industry based in Alaska. It operates under the umbrella of Coastal Villages Region Fund (CVRF), one of the Community Development Quota (CDQ) organizations in Alaska. The CDQ program was established to allocate a portion of the commercial fisheries revenue to communities in Western Alaska, with the intent of promoting economic development and providing economic opportunities for residents.


Coastal Villages Pollock LLC focuses primarily on the harvesting and processing of pollock, a type of fish plentiful in the Bering Sea. Pollock is highly valued for its use in products like fish fillets, surimi (imitation crab meat), and roe.


Under CVRF, Coastal Villages Pollock LLC aims to create jobs and support the economic well-being of the approximately 20 member communities it represents. The company’s activities contribute significantly to local economic development by providing employment opportunities both directly and through ancillary industries.


CVRF reinvests its earnings back into the communities it serves through various programs, including scholarships, job training, and infrastructure development. This approach helps to ensure that the benefits of resource extraction are shared with the residents of Western Alaska, fostering sustainable development in the region.


Overall, Coastal Villages Pollock LLC plays a critical role in both the fishing industry and in supporting the economic vibrancy and sustainability of Western Alaska communities.

The catastrophic implosion of the Titan submersible that killed five people in 2023 could have been prevented, a U.S. Coast Guard investigative board found on Tuesday, calling the vessel’s safety culture and operational practices “critically flawed.”The Titan vanished during a descent to the Titanic wreck on a tourist expedition, losing contact with its support ship.After a tense four-day search, its shattered remains were discovered strewn across the seabed 1,600 feet (488 meters) from the bow of the legendary ocean liner that sank in 1912, claiming more than 1,500 lives.OceanGate, the U.S.-based company that managed the tourist submersible, suspended all operations after the incident.

Iraq Navy Detains Oil Tanker in Smuggling Crackdown

Iraq's navy has detained a Liberian-flagged oil tanker in its territorial waters as part of a crackdown on fuel smuggling at sea, sources with the navy and oil and transport ministries said on Friday.Smuggling is common in Gulf waters, where heavily subsidised fuel from some countries is sold on the black market to buyers across the region, though it has been relatively rare until recently for Iraqi authorities to seize ships.The vessel - identified by both the authorities and shipping sources as the Liliana tanker - was carrying 93,000 metric tons of fuel oil when it was intercepted earlier this week 26 nautical miles from Iraq's coast near Basra's oil terminal.
