There's one place on earth where the waters are still pristine and the bounty of nature remains unspoiled: Alaska! Boasting over one million square miles of rich fishing waters - more than all of the lower 48 states combined - Alaska yields nearly six billion pounds of wild seafood per year.

Alaska is also home to two of only several fisheries in the world recognized by the Marine Stewardship Council as managed to ensure sustainability of its stocks and its marine environment:

• Alaska's wild Salmon fishery
• Alaska's Pollock fishery

Two additional fisheries are currently undergoing full MSC assessment:

• Pacific Halibut (Alaska, Washington and Oregon)
• Alaska Sablefish (Black Cod)

Alaska is the only state in the nation whose constitution explicitly mandates that all fish shall be utilized, developed, and maintained on a sustainable basis. Strict harvesting quotas and fishing regulations assure Alaska will have an abundance of fish for years to come.
