==Economy== {{More citations needed section|date=September 2020}} [[File:EAT Logo.jpg|thumb|Logo on side of vehicle owned by Eastern Aleutian Tribes Inc.]] A [[land exchange]] between Aleut Corp., the U.S. Navy, and the [[United States Department of the Interior|Department of the Interior]] transferred most of the former naval facilities to the Aleut Corp. in March 2004. A portion of the island remains within the [[Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge]], managed by the [[United States Fish and Wildlife Service]]. The U.S. Navy retains part of the north end of Adak Island (Parcel 4) and does annual sweeps of the [[Andrew Lake (Alaska)|Andrew Lake]] Seawall for unexploded ordnance. Their website lists the Institutional Controls in place for all of Adak as part of the land exchange or Interim Conveyance. The Navy provides the trail maps as part of the ordnance awareness information required to be shown to all Adak residents and visitors. Adak currently provides a fueling port and crew transfer facility for a combination of Seattle and Alaskan based [[fishing]] fleet — an [[Adak Airport|airport]], docks, housing facilities, restaurant, grocery, and ship supply store are available. Golden Harvest Alaska Seafood processes Pacific cod, pollock, mackerel, halibut, snow and king crabs at a 144,000-square-foot [[seafood processing]] facility on the island. Four local residents hold [[Commercial fishing in Alaska|commercial fishing permits]], primarily for [[Demersal fish|groundfish]]; however, commercial fishing vessels based out of Seattle and other parts of Alaska provide most of the work for the seafood plant by regularly offloading their catch at the facility's large dock. The local airport allows the company to send orders via [[air cargo]] from Adak to markets around the world, including entire planes full of live [[Red king crab|king crab]] to [[China]].{{Citation needed|date=September 2020}}
