Homer Charter Association

Homer Charter Association (HCA) is a nonprofit organization representing charter owners and operators in Homer, Alaska, a community known for having the state’s largest charter fishing fleet. The association supports the local charter fishing industry and the people and businesses that depend on its fisheries. Its mission includes stewardship of natural resources so they can be enjoyed by future generations.

HCA advocates for responsible fishing policies and regulations, taking part in discussions with the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council, the International Pacific Halibut Commission, the Alaska Board of Fisheries, and other organizations. It also works with stakeholders within and beyond the charter industry to seek outcomes that benefit the fishery, local businesses, and communities.

Through its website, HCA provides information about membership, business sponsorships, board members, upcoming events, and fishing regulations, including halibut rules. The association also shares updates on fisheries meetings, local advisory committee representation, and changes to rockfish and lingcod limits.
