Fishing and Seafood

Blue North recognizes, accepts and embraces its responsibility as a steward of sustainability in everything it does. The company’s prime product – Alaska longline, or hook-and-line, cod – has been certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), designated as a “Best Choice” by the Monterey Aquarium’s Seafood Watch, created a producer partnership with FishWise and has been given the Environmental Defense Fund’s highest rating. Blue North is going a step further by building an innovative, state-of-the-art “green” boat that will be one of the most environmentally friendly fishing vessels in the world.

The At-sea Processors Association (APA) is committed to sustainable management of marine resources and to making a difference in the Alaska and Pacific Northwest communities in which the women and men of our industry live and work. APA member vessels participate in the Pollock Conservation Cooperative (PCC). The PCC received the 2006 Sustainability and Stewardship Award from NOAA, a federal science agency, in recognition of the cooperative’s environmental leadership. As well, APA’s fishing co-ops promote clean fishing practices, supports marine research to enhance understanding of marine ecosystems, and led the effort for certification of the Alaska pollock fishery as sustainable under the Marine Stewardship Council program.
