^OVERVIEW: UPDATE ON THE UA FISHERIES, SEAFOOD, AND MARITIME
INITIATIVE
OVERVIEW: UPDATE ON THE UA FISHERIES, SEAFOOD, AND MARITIME
INITIATIVE
CHAIR SEATON announced that the first order of business would be
an update on the University of Alaska (UA) Fisheries, Seafood,
and Maritime Initiative (FSMI).
10:05:29 AM
PAULA CULLENBERG, Co-chair, Fisheries, Seafood, and Maritime
Initiative (FSMI); Director, University of Alaska Fairbanks
(UAF) Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program, said the Fisheries,
Seafood, and Maritime Initiative (FSMI) is a collaborative plan
between the industry, five state agencies, and the University of
Alaska (UA). The 27th Alaska State Legislature acknowledged the
graying of the Alaskan fishing fleet, and passed HCR 18
proclaiming intent to avail opportunities for a new generation
of fishermen. The university was encouraged to facilitate an
effort to address and strategize what could be done to help
ensure that the current fisheries, seafood, and maritime (FSM)
workforce would remain viable and strong. In response, the
university facilitated two large industry gatherings in the last
year, scoping out the complex workforce that surrounds the
industry. She pointed out that nearly every coastal city and
village has some connection to an aspect of the industry, and
additionally, a significant percentage of the workforce is self-
employed small businesses. The university was asked to
establish an advisory committee to work closely on the effort,
which the UA President, Pat Gamble, accomplished in November,
2012. She directed attention to the committee packet and the
handout titled, "University of Alaska Fisheries, Seafood &
Maritime Initiative (FSMI) January 2013 Update," to point out
the membership of the Industry Advisory Committee (IAC), which
includes: fisheries, seafood and maritime industry official
representatives; Alaska Department of Fish & Game (ADF&G);
Department of Labor & Workforce Development-Alaska Workforce
Investment Board (DOLWD-AWIB), Department of Transportation &
Public Facilities (DOT&PF); Department of Education and Early
Development (EED); and the Department of Commerce, Community &
Economic Development (DCCED). She stressed that this is an
industry driven, collaborative effort. Facets for consideration
include education and training opportunities and a statewide
workforce development plan. Similar approaches have been
undertaken and proven helpful for supporting other Alaskan
industries such as in the areas of health care, oil and gas, and
mining. The university is currently facilitating the effort but
is essentially a partner in carrying out the plan. A skilled
workforce is essential to the Alaskan economy and benefits the
employers, employees, and creates successful businesses. The
intent is to focus on career level, highly skilled occupations
in the FSM industry with the expectation to increase resident
employment.
10:10:42 AM
VINCE O'SHEA, Member, Industry Advisory Committee (IAC),
Fisheries, Seafood, and Maritime Initiative (FSMI); Vice
President, Pacific Seafood Processors Association (PSPA),
underscored the scope of the seafood industry in Alaska, and
said there are nine PSPA organizations which have invested
hundreds of millions of dollars in Alaska and collectively
participate in nearly 100 percent of the state's commercial
fisheries. More than 70 percent of the harvest is
purchased/processed by PSPA member companies. He made three
points to stress the importance of the seafood industry in
Alaska: approximately 100 processing plants operate and sustain
the economic backbone of many coastal communities; creation of
markets for fishermen harvests and industry related jobs for
Alaskans; and production of quality food for the local,
national, and world markets; routinely setting export records.
The PSPA members want and require a high quality workforce to
maintain a competitive edge on the seafood markets. He
acknowledged the greying of the fleet and opined that the next
generation needs to be prepared to take advantage of the FSM
employment. The jobs that are being offered are available now
and do not require coastal residents to relocate for hiring
purposes. The joint FSMI partnership has been committed to by
PSPA and the key issue is establishing the requirements that
will provide the highest benefit of the available training and
educational resources. Many of jobs offer high end wages and
year around positions which PSPA would like to see held by
Alaskans.
10:13:44 AM
JULIE DECKER, Member, Industry Advisory Committee (IAC),
Fisheries, Seafood, and Maritime Initiative (FSMI); United
Fishermen of Alaska (UFA); Development Director, Alaska
Fisheries Development Foundation (AFDF), offered insights as a
fisherman and industry advocate, stating that the initiative is
an important support for the fishing fleet. She said key to
understanding the need for this type of approach is to realize
the difference in what is required in the industry today.
Changes that have evolved have made it different for the new
generation entering the trade, including permit requirements;
diversification of effort; high, upfront capital investment
levels; and knowledge of small business operations. She pointed
out that the maritime industry is rebounding in the coastal
communities in new ways and creating job growth, such as boat
building and maintenance facilities. It is important to plan to
provide training in the necessary skills, she opined, and it is
an important time to be taking this step to support the
industry.
10:16:57 AM
RICK CAULFIELD, Member, Working Group, Fisheries, Seafood, and
Maritime Initiative (FSMI); Provost, University of Alaska
Southeast (UAS), said the goal is to have this program become as
effective as other industry driven initiatives. Skill sets and
certifications for open positions are being catalogued to enable
development of appropriate credentials to ensure that graduates
are on track to fill the gaps in the industry. Precedent for
this approach has successfully been set through the efforts to
support other industry. He reported that he was a participant
on the workforce development plan for the North Slope, when
requirements were identified and classes established for
training process technicians. Similarly, a sector by sector
analysis was accomplished with the health care industry, working
with hospitals around the state to double the number of Alaskans
in the nursing profession. Through a collaborative approach,
meaningful results can be anticipated, he opined. He noted that
the process is on target with regards to UA President Gamble's
strategic direction initiative. Establishing a productive
partnership, with the various Alaska public and private
industries throughout Alaska, is one of the themes the president
has identified as a goal for the university. The advisory group
has received critical feedback and is in the process of
accumulating occupational data from all three sectors. Further,
hard to fill positions and required skill sets, or certification
needs, are also being identified. As the data is analyzed, the
information will be made available for public comment and
review. The goal is to have a workforce plan in place by
November, 2013, and begin the process of creating priorities in
the university system and allowing students to begin a
successful course of study. He drew attention to the final page
of the committee handout, titled "Fisheries, Seafood & Maritime
Initiative (FSMI) Towards a strong and sustainable fisheries,
seafood & maritime workforce in Alaska," to point out the
request to the legislature for an FSMI operating budget of
$396,800 for fiscal year (FY) 14. He said this increment will
fund five items that FSMI has identified, which are: the
Alaska Young Fishermen's Summit - an opportunity for young
people to learn about the complexities of the fishery and how to
become successful in that arena; the statewide delivery of the
one and two year certificate programs and Associate of Applied
Science (AAS) in Fisheries Technology degrees, which the UAS
offers, and is expanding in partnership with community campuses
in Prince William Sound (PWS), Kodiak, and Bristol Bay; the
Alaska Seafood Processors Leadership Institute - a pilot program
educating young people about the global markets, and which
should be sustained and made permanent; and Marine Technologies
Training via distance learning to community campuses. Finally,
he added that a $3.1 million Chinook salmon research request has
been submitted in the capital budget.
10:23:06 AM
CHAIR SEATON noted that the legislature has provided an
expansion of the corporate tax credit system, due to sunset in
FY 13, which allows investment tax advantages for 50 percent of
the first $100,000 and 100 percent of the second $100,000 and 50
percent of the next amount up to $5 million. He asked a series
of questions for comment by panel members, to wit: the sunset
of the tax credit legislation; whether industry is financially
supportive of the topics to be funded in the operating budget
request; and if the $396,800 is in addition or inclusive of
industry funds.
MR. CAULFIELD, speaking on behalf of the university, said that
the legislation is an important means to cement partnerships
with industry. As an example, he said Icicle Seafoods has
provided funding for programs that are currently offered. He
added that the local mining companies have become a major
investor in the university programs and taken advantage of the
offered tax credits. The hope would be to have this important
program continued, he opined.
MS. CULLENBERG interjected that the UAF School of Fisheries has
a strong, long standing partnership with the at-sea processors
through the Pollock Conservation Cooperative Research Center
(PCCRC).
MR. O'SHEA added that the credits from the processing industry
provide about $650,000 annually for education, tax credits, and
contributions to the A. W. "Winn" Brindle Memorial Scholarship
Loan Program, which was originally established by the
processors. The intention is to continue program support, he
said.
CHAIR SEATON underscored the importance of industry providing
contributions because this is an industry driven initiative. He
counseled industry to consider the various mechanisms provided
by the state and ensure that industry provides an equal amount
of "skin in the game."
10:28:17 AM
REPRESENTATIVE FEIGE asked what percentage of the workforce
benefits from the programs or institutional training versus
advancement through the ranks.
MR. O'SHEA said the industry requires about 22,000 workers and
offered a rough estimate that perhaps 20 percent would be high
end positions requiring specific or certified training. Many of
the people who are working in the entry level positions do not
arrive with the goal of continuing in the industry and pursuing
a career. There is current need to go outside of Alaska to fill
the high end jobs, such as refrigeration technicians, technical
engineers, and food safety officials. However, he said, two
recent Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) attained their positions
from beginning in the industry, one as an ice shoveler and the
other from the processing line.
10:31:37 AM
REPRESENTATIVE JOHNSON inquired whether the $396,800 is in the
governor's budget and if the $3.1 million is in the capital
budget.
MS. DECKER said the $396.800 is in the universities budget but
not included in the governor's version that was passed.
CHAIR SEATON asked for deferral of the inquiry regarding the
capital budget.
10:32:40 AM
CHAIR SEATON surmised that the capital investment required by
the new generation entering the fishing trade is significantly
higher today, perhaps due to permit costs, boats, and equipment.
He asked whether in actuality the university training is focused
on the education of businessmen/women who happen to be in
fisheries.
MS. DECKER agreed that entrepreneurship is an essential aspect,
but a crossover to the maritime industry is also an element.
Part of the challenge is in addressing the spectrum of
opportunities in the areas, identifying overlap, and determining
what is effective. She opined that the possibility for people
to work their way up through the ranks remains a viable option.
MS. CULLENBERG offered a reminder to consider the broad
spectrum, which includes professional development for current
employees as well as for positions that may not require a
degree. However, careers are available and the students need to
know how to plan their school career in order to obtain their
desired goals.
MR. O'SHEA reiterated that this has not been done for the
seafood and maritime industries but enthusiasm can be gained by
following the successful model developed for other state
industries, as previously mentioned.
10:37:34 AM
REPRESENTATIVE KREISS-TOMKINS asked what fish technician
programs exist in Alaska, or other western states, and what
import this type of program plays in the arena of enhancement
and hatchery systems in Alaska.
MR. CAULFIELD spoke to the UAS program, which is housed in
Ketchikan, although the administrative offices are being moved
to Sitka to take advantage of opportunities to partner with the
hatchery that is part of the Sheldon Jackson Community College.
The plan is to expand the technician program throughout the
state. Cooperative agreements exist, or are being pursued, to
offer classes at Prince William Sound Community College,
Cordova, Kachemak Bay, Kodiak, and Bristol Bay. He said this
demonstrates the interest in entry level training for one and
two year programs. Individuals already working in the field are
choosing to advance their skill sets. He said local resources
and experts are incorporated and drawn upon to tailor programs
for each region and augment the basic core skills attained via
on-line delivery.
10:39:59 AM
CHAIR SEATON noted that certifications are required for
particular aspects of maritime work, to maintain regulatory
compliance. Today, he said, a fishing vessel may have an entire
wall dedicated to required postings to indicate inspections
completed, drills held, plans for waste management, and
certificates for appropriate compliance, among other things. He
said Alaska Vocational Technical Center (AVTEC), plays a role in
boat owners meeting these types of standards. The super
computer simulator system is part of AVTEC, he noted, and asked
if the center is being used to full advantage.
MS. CULLENBERG said that AVTEC has been at the table and is
represented by DOL on the committee. She said that strategies
are still being formulated.
MR. O'SHEA, regarding using the AVTEC facilities, he opined that
where ever it makes sense to do training, is where it will
occur.
10:44:40 AM
CHAIR SEATON returned to Representative Johnson's budget
question regarding the $3.1 million, in the capital budget, for
Chinook salmon research. Having reminded the committee earlier
that finance sub-committee questions would not be appropriate at
this time and that the gap analysis would be brought before the
committee appropriately, he asked how the $3.1 million
integrates with the $10 million that the governor has included
in the budget for Chinook salmon research.
10:45:19 AM
DR. MILO ATKINSON, PhD, Professor of Fisheries, University of
Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), responded that the gap analysis budget
request was meant to be an integrated submission that
incorporated research from the university and National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The university developed
a plan that requires $3.1 million and the gap analysis includes
three $10 million allocations, with $700,000 under the label of
process studies. The understanding was that the remainder of
the funding would be forthcoming via the future appropriations.
He opined that officials in the UA system were not completely
satisfied and that is why there is a separate request in the
universities budget.
10:46:32 AM
CHAIR SEATON addressed the committee handout titled "Special
Publication No. 13-01, Chinook Salmon Stock Assessment and
Research Plan, 2013," the "Table 1.-Average inshore and federal
waters harvests and fishery-specific activities recommended to
fill knowledge gaps in stock-specific harvest assessment," and
"Table 3.-Recommended activities to fill knowledge gaps that cut
across Chinook salmon stocks and fisheries," to clarity whether
the $3.1 million request dovetails into any of the listed
headings.
DR. ATKINSON responded that the table 3 heading, "Process
Studies on the Yukon River" is inappropriately labeled and
possibly misleading. The main studies are for the first two
activities listed on table 3 ["Nearshore Marine Trawl Research
Cruises" and "Modeling effort for Western Alaska Chinook
salmon"]. The university expects to conduct the initial process
studies, which would require $700,000 of the $10 million request
from ADF&G.
10:48:28 AM
KEVIN BROOKS, Deputy Commissioner, Alaska Department of Fish &
Game (ADF&G), said the governor's Chinook initiative is
contemplated to be a $30 million, five year endeavor; $10
million is in ADF&G's current request, with the same amount for
FY 15 and FY 16. It is not anticipated that the $3.1 million
request for the university would be included. How it would be
split out over the years has yet to be determined. The $3.1
million could be spread over four to five years; generally
categorized as process studies. The funding will allow a
collaboration of expertise from the department, university and
federal agencies. Federal money is also expected to be brought
to the equation, which is not part of the executive branch
initiative request.
10:50:33 AM
CHAIR SEATON concluded that the university would participate to
the level of the $3.1 million, to be defined over a period of
years, and that the amount is included in the governor's
request.
MR. BROOKS pointed out that the university budget requests are
prepared independently prior to integration.
CHAIR SEATON said it is important for the committee to
understand whether these are separate budget requests for
independent undertakings by different entities or an
amalgamation. He stated his understanding that there are not
two independent Chinook research studies being proposed.
DR. ATKINSON confirmed the chairman's understanding and said
that all of the process studies will be completed with the help
of ADF&G personnel.
REPRESENTATIVE JOHNSON restated his question, asking whether the
$3.1 million is included in the $10 million.
MR. BROOKS said it is not in the $10 million but is included
proportionately in the $30 million.
10:53:40 AM
The committee took an at-ease from 10:53 a.m. to 10:56 a.m.
10:56:10 AM
^OVERVIEW: SHORT TERM COMMERCIAL CREW MEMBERS LICENSE
OVERVIEW: SHORT TERM COMMERCIAL CREW MEMBER LICENSE
CHAIR SEATON announced that the final order of business would be
an overview of the short term commercial crew member license
program, by the Alaska Department of Fish & Game (ADF&G)
10:56:36 AM
KEVIN BROOKS, Deputy Commissioner, Alaska Department of Fish &
Game (ADF&G), stated that the program was created in 2005 to
provide opportunities for non-residents interested in working a
single commercial fishery opening for seven days or less;
commonly referred to as a "dude" license. During the first five
years numbers remained stable with 250-330 licenses sold, but in
the last two years sales have increased to 509-542. He
clarified that these numbers refer to the multiple purchases of
licenses. The cost is $30.00, meaning that a non-resident could
purchase six in a season for $180.00 rather than buying an
annual, non-resident license for the $200.00 fee; representing a
loss of revenue to the state. He suggested that the price set
in 2005 may have caused an unanticipated market response.
Referring to the committee handout titled "Fish and Game
Commercial Crew 7 Day License," he pointed out that in the 2012
season, 17 individuals purchased 6, $30.00 licenses. The 2012
loss in revenue is easily calculated to be $61,000 and over the
life of the program the total loss has been $285,000. He opined
that this is not an insignificant amount, and said it is on the
department's watch list. When it was first created it was not
known to what extent the dude license would sell, but the
dynamic has become evident. However, the annual sale of
resident crew licenses has increased every year, averaging just
under $10,000 annually for the last four years. He said it is
speculative whether the purchasers of the multiple non-resident
dude licenses would have purchased the annual license, if the
choice were not available. He said that the Department of Labor
& Workforce Development (DOLWD) is involved in watching this, as
a share of the revenues are part of the fisherman's fund, which
is essentially a workmen's compensation account for deck hands.
Interestingly, he said, at lower levels, such as the purchase of
three licenses, there is a loss to the fishermen's fund, but
with the purchase of five or six there is a gain to the fund.
He explained that this occurs because the fund contribution is
39 percent of the sale for the first $50.00. The previously
mentioned 2012 total loss of $61,000 includes the amount that is
bound for the fishermen's fund. The total annual crew license
revenue is about $2.7 million and although this represents a
percentage in the low digits, it cannot be ignored.
11:02:09 AM
REPRESENTATIVE FEIGE asked if there is a resident, commercial
crew member license.
MR. BROOKS replied yes, for an annual fee of $60.00. Residents
break even if they purchase two dude licenses or one annual,
thus, residents do not appear to be over utilizing the
opportunity.
REPRESENTATIVE FEIGE said that many of the fisheries are not
continuous through the year and operate for a limited time, such
as the three week harvest in Bristol Bay. He suggested offering
resident/non-resident options only, which might serve to
encourage more Alaskan hires.
MR. BROOKS responded that every year there is a mixture of
resident and non-resident purchases and the 2012 ratio was about
50:50.
REPRESENTATIVE FEIGE inquired who is fiscally responsible for
the purchase of a crew member license; the crew member or the
captain.
MR. BROOKS answered that it is the responsibility of the crew
member, and that the worker must report for work with a license.
REPRESENTATIVE FEIGE asked whether industry would experience a
shortage of workers if only two options were to exist, and
whether the money represents an issue to the workers.
MR. BROOKS said that the cost of the license does not appear to
be a barrier.
11:05:32 AM
CHAIR SEATON reviewed that in 2005, the legislature enacted this
measure based on a discussion which focused on providing
opportunities for non-residents to dude fish and have an Alaskan
experience. Law does not provide for a visitor to be a casual
participant on a fishing boat; a permit is required. The
expectation was to lower the $200.00 annual fee, advertise the
situation, and basically allow a tourist to casually participate
in a fishery; also creating a new economic opportunity. He
asked whether it has ever been advertised in this manner.
MR. BROOKS replied that nothing systematic has occurred and that
the sale of these licenses was intended to create a niche
market.
CHAIR SEATON stated that it is questionable whether the niche is
valuable enough to override the annual loss of $60,000 in
license sales, and said the legislature will need to revisit the
policy.
11:08:01 AM
REPRESENTATIVE KREISS-TOMKINS commented that a non-resident
family member may be visiting and desire to participate on a
troller or gill-netter. He opined that the situation is being
taken advantage of, maybe not for the purpose for which it was
intended, although perhaps in the same spirit. He asked about
adjusting the fee of the non-resident, seven day license upward
in order to shift the price point to a shorter time window.
MR. BROOKS agreed that changing the price point could prove
helpful. He said if the fee was $100.00 for a seven day permit,
then rather than purchase two separate permits for $200.00 it
would stand to reason to purchase the annual permit for $200.00
outright. It would be difficult to predict the market reaction
and the department has not proposed a bill to address the
situation.
REPRESENTATIVE KREISS-TOMKINS confirmed that the purchase price
was specified in the original bill.
CHAIR SEATON explained the importance of understanding how the
system works and the way in which the permit revenues are tied
into the DOL fishermen's fund. One policy question for the
committee is whether the state should provide full coverage in
the event of an injury to a non-resident licensee, keeping in
mind that someone just learning is the likeliest to be hurt.
The annual loss of revenue is also a concern for committee
consideration.
11:12:03 AM
REPRESENTATIVE FEIGE asked if a visiting family member would be
a paid crew member, or volunteering.
REPRESENTATIVE KREISS-TOMKINS theorized that the help would be
provided on a volunteer basis.
REPRESENTATIVE FEIGE asked if it would be possible to exempt
anyone not receiving wages.
CHAIR SEATON said that many gambits require consideration around
the scenario, which the committee might address. Additionally,
the seven day license could be retained with a limit of one per
season, rather than allowing multiple or consecutive purchases.
He observed that many people are figuring out how to get all the
advantages while saving money on licensing.
11:14:00 AM
REPRESENTATIVE JOHNSON asked whether the bill has a sunset
clause.
CHAIR SEATON responded no.
11:14:17 AM
MR. BROOKS offered that it would be difficult for the department
to determine who is or is not being paid as a crew member, and
tracking sequential license purchases could also be cumbersome,
due to the number of vendors throughout the state. Practical
limitations exist that create monitoring issues and a price
point adjustment could be the best approach, he opined.
CHAIR SEATON agreed and said crew want to be covered by the
workmen's compensation benefit.
11:15:40 AM
CHAIR SEATON thanked the participants and announced the next
meeting.
