BBEDC is offering a new permit loan program to help water-shed residents buy Bristol Bay drift and set net fishing permits.

With help from the Commercial Fisheries & Agriculture Bank (CFAB), BBEDC will guarantee loans to qualified residents, provide financial help through interest subsi-dies and “sweat equity,” and help teach permit holder’s how manage a successful fish business.

The first step is to apply for a loan with CFAB. If the loan is denied, the resident is eligible to apply for the BBEDC Permit Loan Program. To lean more, contact BBEDC at 1-800-478-4370 or 842-4370.

The Bristol Bay Permit Brokerage was established in 1994 to help retain local ownership of fishing permits in the Bristol Bay region. The staff works closely with lending agencies and resident fishermen to find alternatives to foreclosures and permit seizures.
