Environmentally-Friendly Fishing

SUSTAINABLY LEADING THE WAY

The fisheries have been good to us. Keeping them sustainable and pristine is an obligation—and responsibility—we take seriously.

PROTECTED FISHERIES

The Bering Sea and the Pacific Northwest fisheries are some of the most monitored and well-managed fisheries in the world.

CERTIFIED SUSTAINABLE CATCH

All species are caught from Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified sustainable fisheries.

AN ABUNDANT FUTURE

For every 100 fish, 15 are harvested and 85 others are left to swim and thrive.

keeping it wild

The Bering Sea and the North Pacific Ocean are two of the most monitored and sustainable fisheries in the world. We’re leading the way to keep them sustainable.

Less Than
1% ByCatch

Sustainability starts with our skippers and crew, who work proactively with onboard federal observers to capture data, monitor bycatch, and then avoid it altogether whenever possible.

Connecting with communities

From Alaska to the Northwest, we’re embedded in communities that depend on fishing, and we do our part to support and advance each one.

Certification
and beyond

The Bering Sea Aleutian Islands Wild Alaska Pollock fishery and Pacific Hake fishery have achieved the two highest Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification scores of any certified whitefish fishery in the world.

American Seafoods is an active participant in the North Pacific Fishery Management Council, and the Pacific Fishery Management Council, and it collaborates regularly with the National Marine Fisheries Service.
