Epic Prince William Sound Salmon Season

This summer I photographed the 2013 commercial salmon fishery in Prince William Sound, Alaska for the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute that partners with the State of Alaska and the Alaska seafood industry, which promotes Alaska Seafood in the U.S. and abroad. The pink salmon forecast was right around 38 million fish, however after it was all said and done, the fishing fleet delivered a record of more than 85 million pink salmon, the largest ever harvested. Prince William Sound is a stunningly beautiful place surrounded by a dramatic coastline of mountains, glaciers and waterfalls. The main communities of PWS are Cordova, Valdez and Whittier.
