July 7, 2021 – On July 6th the Standing Fish Price Setting Panel accepted FFAW-Unifor’s reconsideration request.

Today, FFAW and ASP reached an agreement on sea cucumber prices for the 2021 season. The minimum price for the season is now $0.70/lbs. The initial price was set by the Panel at $0.60/lbs in early June.

The new price is effective immediately.

Thank You to the Committee for their excellent and difficult work this week.
