  2. Permit Prices Skyrocket in Key Regions Bristol Bay Drift Prince William Sound Seine Near $160,000 Also hitting $160,000 The crown jewel of Alaska fishing permits, reflecting the world's largest sockeye salmon fishery and consistent returns Premium pricing driven by pink salmon abundance and protected waters ideal for seine operations Cook Inlet Drift Around $38,000 More accessible entry point with leases exceeding $7,000, still representing significant investment for fishermen These market values are driven by exceptional harvest forecasts and intense demand for access to Alaska's most productive fishing grounds.
