Environmentally Friendly Harvest
Environmentally
Friendly Harvest As the world's population continues to grow, so does
the demand for high quality seafood. One of the most detrimental factors
to our Wild Alaskan Seafood is over-harvesting and pollution.
There are many different parts of the world that have over-harvested their ocean's inhabitants, and now are left with nothing.
The opposite is true for the State of Alaska. Alaska's fisheries are still relatively young compared to others throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa. I guess you could say we have learned from others mistakes when it comes to preserving our seafood stocks.
For thousands of years, the fishes of Alaska's seas and rivers have supported human use, from fisheries used by Alaska's indigenous Native peoples since prehistoric times, to today's modern seafood industry.
Alaska is home to abundant stocks of many species of fish, and offers some of the
cleanest marine, freshwater, and upland habitats in the world. Effective state and federal institutions manage fisheries that are productive and sustainable, clean and healthy.
Alaska is the only State in the nation whose Constitution explicitly mandates that all fish, including salmon, shall be utilized, developed, and maintained on the sustained yield principle. Alaska is home to the only wild salmon fishery in the world that has been recognized by the Marine Stewardship Council as managed to ensure sustainability of its stocks and its marine environment. Strict harvesting quotas and fishing regulations assure that Alaska will have an abundance of fish for generations to come.
