Coastal Villages Seafoods

Coastal Villages Seafoods (CVS) is a significant player in the seafood industry, particularly known for its operations in Alaska. It functions as the seafood sales and marketing division of Coastal Villages Region Fund (CVRF), which is one of the Community Development Quota (CDQ) groups established under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The CDQ program allocates a percentage of all Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands quotas for various species to eligible communities, with the aim of promoting sustainable economic development in Western Alaska.

CVS handles the harvesting, processing, and sales of a range of seafood products. Its operations are crucial for the local economies as they provide employment opportunities and support community development projects. The company focuses on species like pollock, crab, and various types of groundfish, ensuring that the seafood is caught and processed sustainably.

The revenue generated by CVS is reinvested into the communities it serves, funding important initiatives such as education, infrastructure, and local enterprise support. This model helps to ensure that the economic benefits of the region’s rich marine resources are shared with the indigenous and local populations, fostering long-term socio-economic sustainability.

In summary, Coastal Villages Seafoods is not just a seafood company but an integral part of a larger community-focused enterprise that aims to balance profitable seafood operations with significant social responsibility towards the communities of Western Alaska.
