Pacific Whiting Conservation

The Pacific Whiting Conservation Cooperative (PWCC) is a trade association representing three companies that own and operate U.S. catcher processor vessels participating in the west coast Pacific whiting fishery. This well-managed groundfish fishery is the largest volume of fish harvested on the U.S. west coast annually, with a focus on sustainability and healthy fish stocks.

Working closely with fishery managers, scientists, and conservation organizations, PWCC's mission is to ensure the continued health and sustainability of marine resources, particularly the Pacific whiting resource and associated species. Through research projects and catch management programs, PWCC utilizes a precautionary approach to maintain the fishery's sustainability and holds dual certifications under the Marine Stewardship Council and Responsible Fisheries Management programs.
