Fisheries

Helping Operators Thrive in Heavily Regulated Fisheries.

Marten helps fisheries clients thrive by guiding them through the web of regulatory and litigation risks affecting the sector. We represent commercial operators, processors, and industry trade associations in challenges to rulemaking, permitting, and enforcement, and deliver compliance assurance programs and strategic risk management solutions. From the development of catch share programs, to working through the Council process to amend fishery management plans, we represent commercial fishermen, processors, and Native corporations in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Our team of former state and federal officials help our clients chart a path forward.
