Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Deep Sea Fishermen's Union (DSFU) was established in November 1912 to represent the interests of fishermen, many of whom worked aboard boats owned by others. Fishing was and continues to be a very dangerous occupation. Workers formed unions to help mitigate the risks of this dangerous occupation and to ensure that they were paid fairly by the vessel owners.

The union represents long-line fishermen- those who use fishing lines and hooks to obtain their catch as opposed to dragging nets behind a vessel. Over the course of its history, the DSFU has been active in the management of halibut fisheries, and were among the groups that helped to establish the International Pacific Halibut Commission in the 1920s. The union has advocated for and helped establish programs of conservation and fleet management through government and self-regulation. In the wake of the establishment of a 200-mile offshore fishing limit in 1976, the DSFU continues to be active in that process of fishing and conservation. Because of this model, the union has evolved to an organization that is not only the collective bargaining agent of workers in relation to ship owners, but a body that lobbies for legislation and policies that are in the interest of its members.
