CORNUCOPIA — Halvorson Fisheries signed on to the 100% Great Lakes Fish Pledge, publicly committing to aspire to use 100% of each commercially caught Great Lakes fish productively by 2025.
As part of the pledge, the company will also help communicate to other companies in the fish supply chain about opportunities for innovative applications for fish byproducts, including fertilizer, protein, marine collagen, leather or other new, high-value products.
Halvorson Fisheries joins Wisconsin-based Lindal Fisheries, Dramm Corporation, Dan’s Fish, Inc., Henriksen Fisheries, Baileys Harbor Fish Company and J&M Fisheries, which previously signed the pledge, bringing participation from Wisconsin to seven companies.
Twenty-two companies have now signed the pledge overall.
This pledge is part of the 100% Great Lakes Fish initiative created by the Conference of Great Lakes St. Lawrence Governors & Premiers (GSGP), an organization representing the Governors of the Great Lakes States and the Canadian Premiers of Ontario and QuÈbec.
“Through the concerted efforts of companies like Halvorson Fisheries and our expanding network of signatories, the 100% Great Lakes Fish initiative is paving the way for a more sustainable and prosperous future for our region,” David Naftzger, GSGP executive director, said. “By embracing innovation and committing to maximizing the value of each commercially caught fish, we are reducing waste and unlocking new economic opportunities for the Great Lakes.”
More information on 100% Great Lakes Fish, including a copy of the pledge, is available at gsgp.org.
