[Note: The Pacific halibut fishery in Alaska is widely recognized as an environmentally-responsible fishery. Careful management, adherence to strict limits on the size and number of fish that can be caught, as well as steps taken by the fishery to reduce bycatch all contribute to the Pacific halibut fishery being considered ocean-friendly.]
