The mission of Chignik Lagoon Village Council is to provide quality services that will contribute and enhance the health and well-being of the community and its members. Chignik Lagoon is a very remote Native village located 400 miles southwest of Anchorage on the Pacific Ocean side of the Alaska Peninsula. Chignik Lagoon is one of the three separate Chignik villages. Chignik Lagoon is in the middle of the three villages. Today, Chignik Lagoon has a population of about 70 year-round residents. The other two surrounding villages are Chignik Bay, and Chignik Lake. The other two are about 15 miles away. While a cannery no longer exists, the local economy is still largely based on commercial fishing. Three main fisheries exist in the area, which include Pacific Cod, Halibut and Salmon. Currently, there are no roads that connect any of the villages.
