The Southeast Alaska Energy SWOT analysis was conducted by the Southeast
Conference Seafood Committee in two sessions: On February 4th, 2020 and again
on April 22nd. Once the SWOT lists were completed by the group, committee members were asked to prioritize by
choosing the top three items that they felt were most representative of regional mining strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats.
