Fish Going to a Good Cause
by Matt Upton, United State Seafoods, LLC
At United States Seafoods, LLC, we believe everyone should have access to healthy food. Fish harvested by crews aboard our 7 trawlers off the coast of Alaska feed people all over the world. Our business depends on the fisheries we participate in being sustainable, and we strive to be responsible ocean stewards. SeaShare enables us to donate fish that would otherwise by regulation be required to be thrown overboard and wasted. Now those fish end up in food banks that serve communities and families in Alaska and around the United States.
Bob West, Captain of the United States Seafoods' vessel VAERDAL, recently explained why he and his crew participate in SeaShare:
" It's great to see salmon, a fish we were required to discard in the past, now going to a good cause"
