Did you know that the coastal region of the U.S. PacificNorthwest is home to some of the most well-managed andsustainable fisheries in the world?
According to the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC)*, themost diverse and complex fishery in the world to ever meet
the MSC seafood sustainability standard is the West Coast
Groundfish Trawl fishery - the backbone of small fishingcommunities in our region. The Pacific Northwest also boasts
the renowned Oregon Pink Shrimp fishery, known for its
fishermen’s commitment to sustainability (as well as its title“the first shrimp (prawn) fishery in the world to achieve MSCcertification”).
We take great pride in what we do! We fish in the bountiful,pristine cold waters of the Pacific for the food we choose toput on our - and your – table, while also always ensuring ourocean’s bounty remains for generations to come.
