Sustainable Fishery

The Alaska pollock fishery is one of the most consistently productive and stable fisheries in the world, due to the federal management system that has been regulating the fishery for over 30 years. For this reason, the Alaska pollock fishery is regarded as a model for ecosystem-based sustainable fisheries management. The pages in this section provide additional information on the management of the fishery and the voluntary actions Alaska pollock fishermen take to ensure the sustainability of the catch.
