Target #2: Increase the ex-vessel value of key species in Alaska’s commercial harvest by 0.5%.
Methodology: ADF&G, NOAA-NMFS, SMIS estimates, ASMI estimates
|
Analysis of results and challenges: Value (ex-vessel) of key commercial species totaled over $2.2 billion in 2011, far exceeding the 0.5 percent growth target for the year (29 percent growth from 2010 to 2011).
Every species category, with the exception of herring, saw higher ex-vessel values in 2011. What is notable about the change from 2010 to 2011 from a marketing perspective is not so much the gains made in total value, but the fact that the average ex-vessel price of all Alaska seafood went from $0.33 per pound in 2009 to $0.41 per pound in 2011 – an increase of 24 percent. Successful education and aggressive marketing programs, showcasing the intrinsic positive attributes of Alaska seafood and the favorable market conditions, all contributed to the increase in prices.
Leading the increase in value was Alaska salmon. The ex-vessel values went up over 19 percent and the average ex-vessel price of Alaska salmon increased from $0.74 per pound to $0.85 per pound. Alaska ground fish, generally increased in value as well, as manufacturers become more accustomed to using the high-volume whitefish. Alaska crab has also seen prices increase in recent years. Despite smaller harvests, the ex-vessel value of both halibut and black cod have increased as prices improved even further.

Target #1: Continue the Public Relations Campaign supporting core US marketing programs. Continue the campaign that generates awareness, positive messaging, and education among the target audience that Alaska seafood is a delicious, wild and sustainable choice.
Methodology: Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute; Schiedermayer & Associates
|
Analysis of results and challenges: The resources allocated to the Public Relations Campaign are currently designated to achieve maximum media exposure and value for Alaska Seafood. The goal is to continue to reach the target audience with the key Alaska Seafood messages - delicious, wild and sustainable - delivered via traditional and nontraditional digital media and education. Through public relations efforts in FY2012, key messages were delivered according to schedule to more than 266.5 million US households and the media value was worth over $6 million dollars. This fiscal year additional funds were added to the advertising component with the intent to achieve a higher consumer awareness reach.

| B:
Result - Increase number of Alaska citizens who have access to local government services. |
| |
Target #1: 100 percent of municipal governments provide essential public services (i.e. elections, legal, health, financial/contracting, fuel).
Analysis of results and challenges: There is no requirement for communities to report inadequate provision of public services, such as interruption of public utilities, reduction or elimination of police or public safety, not holding required public meetings or elections, or inadequate financial disclosure of public finances. Communities are required to submit information or certify that they have satisfied statutory requirements as a prerequisite to receive Community Revenue Sharing (CRS). Information for this data system is collected as part of the Community Revenue Sharing application process, and spot checked by DCRA staff in interactions with municipalities. The challenge is to verify the information consistently across all municipalities. DCRA is investigating amending the CRS regulation to require submission of verifying documents for these criteria rather than just a certification from the municipality.
