The Alaska Department of Fish and Game

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game provides a wide range of opportunities for the public to use fish and wildlife resources in Alaska.

On their website you can purchase fishing and hunting licenses, find information about where and how to safely and responsibly view wildlife, fish, hunt and trap, or download a wide range of fish and wildlife information, including catch and release.

The ADFG mission is to protect, maintain, and improve the fish, game, and aquatic plant resources of the state, and manage their use and development in the best interest of the economy and the well-being of the people of the state, consistent with the sustained yield principle.

They are also dealing with many invasive species in Alaska. To learn what species to look for and what to do to prevent the spread of these species, please visit our Invasive Species page.
