Welcome to the United Catcher Boats home page. United Catcher Boats was established in 1993 to provide a strong, unified voice for the owners of vessels which trawl for groundfish in the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska and West Coast commercial fisheries. Many of the UCB member vessels also have a long history of fishing the Bering Sea crab in addition to their groundfish trawl fisheries. A successor organization to both American High Seas Fisheries Association and American Independent Fishermen. United Catcher Boats provides an organization for groundfish harvesters in support of rational fisheries management, sustained yields, reduced bycatches, and maintaining our vessels in a competitive industry. 4005 20th Ave W - Suite 116, Seattle, WA 98199 Phone:206-282-2599 Fax 206-282-2414 More Fisheries Sites
