| Summary: | The following is a table listing all of the people who served on the Alaska Board of Fisheries Members from 1975-2017. The Board consists of seven members serving three-year terms and its main role is to conserve and develop the fishery resources of the state. Members are appointed by the governor, and then then must be approved by the legislature. The board provides a local forum for regional opinions on fish and game issues, facilitates resource allocation, and makes regulatory changes. The original source of these data is the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Original data were extracted from here http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=fisheriesboard.past_members. This data was modified by reformatting the columns slightly, including the addition of columns to specify whether or not the member served as the board chair, whether the member is male or female, what region their community is located in, and whether that community is rural or urban. The rural/urban distinction is based on the definition used by the Federal Subsistence Board to determine the subsistence priority. The male/female distinction was inferred from the name of the Board of Fisheries member.
