ALASKA POLLOCK FROM WEST BERING SEA IS MSC CERTIFIED FROM JULY 2021

We are pleased to announce that the West Bering Sea Alaska pollock fishery acquired the MSC fishery standard certification in July 2021. Norebo has 13 vessels operating in this fishery.

The MSC certificate covers APO fishery of the Russian fleet (members of the Pollock Catchers Association) for FAO 61 area within North-West Bering Sea / Navarinsky Area (east of 174 E to the delimiting line between Russia and the USA). The TAC of pollock in West Bering Sea in 2021 is 415,000 tonnes and majority of it is now covered by the MSC certification. This is a great achievement for the Russian pollock fishery of continuous implementation of sustainable fishery principles in practice.  

The fishery was certified with no conditions but with one non-binding recommendation. 

The successful certification of the fishery to the MSC Fishery Standard is a robust assurance that the stocks, fishery management and the fishery comply with high international sustainable fishery standard. 

The certification number is: MSC-F-31513.
