In 2010, the Yak-Tat Kwaan Inc., (YTK) an ANCSA village corporation, partnered with its regional corporation, Sealaska, to diversify and expand economic opportunities in Southeast Alaska through oyster farming. With the financial support of both Sealaska and YTK, this joint venture has helped develop three oyster farming businesses in Yakutat. Of these, two are independently owned while the third is owned and operated by YTK's subsidiary, Yak-Tat Kwaan Mariculture, LLC.
The farming sites are located near village ANSCA lands with an aquatic farm site lease agreement authorized through the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, and issued to Yak-Tat Kwaan Mariculture, LLC. All harvests are processed within a facility approved by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation under a shellfish shipping permit managed by Yak-Tat Kwaan Mariculture, LLC. Marketing services are provided by Sealaska's subsidiary, Haa Aani.
With the financial, marketing and infrastructure support provided by Yak-Tat Kwaan and Sealaska, independent farmers are able to focus on tending to their farms. The processing plant is made available to each local farmer for processing and shipping their product. Our first harvest took place in June of 2012.
