The future of the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute’s (ASMI) Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) certification program has been up in the air since last year.
But the program could find a new home as part of an international RFM that would also include Norway and Iceland.
Mark Fina, a policy analyst with United States Seafood who chairs ASMI's RFM committee, said Tuesday at the group's All Hands on Deck meeting in Anchorage that the committee was optimistic about creating an international RFM program after a recent meeting with fishing representatives from Norway.
