Two Pacific cod fisheries have earned Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification covering longline, trawl, pot and jig fishing methods.
The fisheries, located in the Gulf of Alaska (GoA) and in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI), were assessed and found to be sustainable and well managed.
Director of Alaska Whitefish Trawlers Association Al Burch said this certification is good for the cod business.
Were really pleased that it happened, he said. It means it will be easier to sell and get a better price.
