The Pacific Whiting Conservation Cooperative (PWCC) is a trade association representing three member companies - American Seafoods, Glacier Fish Co., and Trident Seafoods Corporation - that own and operate U.S. catcher processor vessels participating in the west coast Pacific whiting fishery. They work cooperatively to promote rational harvest, optimal utilization, and minimal waste in the fishery, resulting in improved product recovery rates and decreased bycatch. PWCC also funds and performs research to enhance the overall West Coast groundfish fishery. Formed in 1997, PWCC has transformed the catcher-processor fishery from a race for fish into a cooperative that emphasizes resource conservation and efficient production. Through negotiated apportionment of the annual Pacific whiting allowable harvest, PWCC has successfully reduced bycatch and waste, improved product quality, and reduced fishing effort. In addition, PWCC members contribute tonnage fees to fund scientific research, including stock assessment and bycatch avoidance programs, benefiting the entire West Coast groundfish fishery.Generated from the website
