Sustaining Our Fisheries

The US West Coast fishing fleet has always been strong in the face of challenges, and we are proud of our resilience. While we face issues such as offshore wind developments and potential harvest control rules, we know that these obstacles can be overcome with dedication and perseverance. We remain committed to upholding methods and standards that prioritize healthy oceans and communities. We urge you, as a consumer, to join us in this effort. Your support not only helps sustain our industry but also makes a vital contribution to protecting our environment. Together, we can make a positive difference and ensure that our West Coast fishing fleet continues to thrive for generations to come.

By advocating for and supporting sustainable fishing practices, we can send a powerful message to larger corporations and industries that profit-driven decisions must be balanced by a deep concern for the impact on our environment. We owe it to future generations to do everything we can to protect our local fisheries and guarantee access to fresh, healthy, and sustainable seafood for years to come. 

It is our collective and individual responsibility to preserve and tend to the environment in which we all live.
