Sustainable seafood is seafood that has been harvested without jeopardizing the marine environment, does not subject fish populations to overfishing, and results in minimal catch of or harm to other species. We offer more than 30 types of wild fish and shellfish, and all but two† meet one or more of the criteria listed below for verified sustainable harvest methods. †*At this time, our canned sardines and mackerel are the only species we offer that do not meet any of the standards listed below.* - Harvested in Alaska waters: Serving as a model for effective fishery management around the globe, Alaska is the only state in the nation whose constitution mandates that all fisheries be responsibly managed to support continued abundance. All seafood harvested in Alaska waters comes from fisheries that are verified sustainable, responsible, and traceable back to the source. All Alaskan seafood is certified sustainable by Alaska Responsible Fisheries Management 1 or the Marine Stewardship Council 2, programs which are benchmarked by the Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative 3 and are aligned with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries4, the most comprehensive set of international standards and best practices for wild fisheries. - MSC Certified Sustainable Seafood: Products showing the blue fish and/or described as "MSC certified" come from a fishery that has been independently certified as sustainable under a program operated by The Marine Stewardship Council , a global nonprofit organization. These fisheries have been found to meet all three principles of the MSC Fisheries Standard, which are to sustain wild seafood stocks, to use catch methods that have minimal environmental impact, and to demonstrate effective fishery management.
