Pacific Seafood Processors Association

Pacific Seafood Processors Association
A non-profit trade organization established in 1914 to address issues of concern to member seafood companies.

	PSPA members are proud to be among the world's leading producers of quality seafood products.
	Members include floating and shorebased seafood processing companies.
	The fisheries in our region are managed by the National Marine Fisheries Service, the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council, the International Pacific Halibut Commission, and the State of Alaska. Alaska's salmon (all species) and pollock fisheries are certified as sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). Pacific cod from Alaska is close to being certified, and other fisheries are in the process of certification, through the MSC process.
	The seafood industry of the Pacific Northwest contributes tens of thousands of jobs and over two billion dollars to the economies of Alaska and Washington annually. PSPA members have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the communities of Alaska and Washington in state-of-the-art facilities over the past two decades.
	PSPA members are an important part of the economy of Alaska and Washington and provide thousands of career opportunities every year for qualified workers, from entry level to professional level positions.
	Over 50% of the fishery resources of the United States are harvested in the Pacific Northwest. Maintaining healthy oceans and sustainable fisheries is our number one priority.
