APICDA is a non-profit dedicated to strengthening local fisheries-based economies through increasing direct fisheries participation in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, building support infrastructure and offering programs to assist the advancement of priority initiatives in its six member communities in the Aleutian-Pribilof region of Alaska.

APICDA’s board is primarily comprised of local Fishermen’s Association members; one representative per community in addition to a fishing industry and a financial industry representative.
