Its purpose is to encourage fisheries-related economic development. Since its inception, it has generated millions of dollars in wages, education and training benefits, and has helped fund fisheries investments such as docks, harbors and seafood processing facilities for the 25,000 residents who call these communities home. In addition to building fisheries-based economies and helping alleviate poverty, the CDQ Program offers residents of western Alaska practical skills and tools for actively participating in the commercial fisheries so that local residents have control over their futures.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSustainability is a guiding principle of the CDQ Program. Revenues derived from the Bering Sea Aleutian Island fisheries make it possible to invest in community, human and economic capital. This balanced investment portfolio ensures that the eligible communities will have the right mix of resources and assets to achieve future sustainability.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn order to participate in the CDQ Program, communities must have met four criteria:\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n\t\tBe located within 50 nautical miles of the Bering Sea coast;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tBe recognized as a Native Village under ANCSA requirements;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tHave residents who conduct 50 percent of their commercial or subsistence fishing activity in the Bering Sea;\n\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tHave not previously established participation in the BSAI groundfish industry.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">For a higher resolution version of the CDQ map, click on the image above&nbsp;left.&nbsp; For information on the CDQ Program go to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wacda.org\" style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">www.wacda.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Community Development Quota Program (CDQ Program) was created in 1992.
