History
In October 2019, Bristol Bay Native Corporation (BBNC) acquired controlling interests in Clipper Seafoods and Blue North Fisheries, two industry leaders in the BSAI / Gulf of Alaska pacific cod longline sector. These two companies were merged to create Bristol Wave Seafoods. BBNC, an Alaska Native corporation, has deep cultural ties to Alaskan fisheries.
Its acquisition and creation of Bristol Wave Seafoods returned control and earnings of the majority of the Bering Sea freezer longline cod fishery to Alaska, bringing benefits to its more than 11,000 Alaska Native shareholders.
