Kodiak
Island sits at the crossroads of the most productive
fishing grounds in the world. The Port of Kodiak
is "homeport" to 770 commercial fishing
vessels. Not only is Kodiak the state's largest
fishing port, it is also home to some of Alaska's
largest trawl, longline, and crab vessels.
Kodiak
is also a thriving business community. It is a
transportation hub for southwest Alaska, and home
of the largest U.S. Coast Guard base in the country.
Kodiak is home to the first non-federal
satellite launch complex in the United States.
