		Wild Alaskan Salmon and Halibut are neither threatened nor endangered. Each of Alaska’s fisheries is strictly managed with two goals in mind: to further the survival of the species and to ensure a continuation of Alaska’s world renowned ecosystem. The needs of the commercial harvest are carefully balanced with the needs of the species and ecology. Alaska’s abundant fish stocks and wildlife are a testament to the wisdom of these stringent management guidelines. We offer our patrons responsibly harvested wild salmon and halibut. Fisheries within the state of Alaska are sustainable. Wild Alaskan seafood is accepted as the environmentally concerned consumer’s best choice. In 2000 Alaska’s Salmon fishery was awarded the Marine Stewardship Council eco-label. Today it remains the only salmon fishery in the world to be certified as meeting the council’s strict standards for sustainable management. In 2006 Alaska’s Halibut fishery was also awarded certification by the Marine Stewardship Council, proving once again Alaska Seafood to be the top choice for sustaining a healthy environment.
