US Code of Federal Regulations [Title 50,Volume 3,Parts 600 to End]defines the CDQ program as follows: Subpart A General Sec. 679.1 Purpose and scope.
(e) Western Alaska CDQ Program. The goals and purpose of the CDQ program are to allocate CDQ to eligible Western Alaska communities to provide the means for starting or supporting commercial fisheries business activities that will result in an ongoing, regionally based, fisheries-related economy.

Comprehensive Training
YDFDA has developed a comprehensive training program that involves marine safety, navigation instruction, longline training, boat building, and engine repair. Boats built by YDFDA's subsidiary, Yukon Marine Manufacturing, in Alakanuk are sold to residents for fishing operations.


Regional Fisheries
