The Sustainable Harvest Sector is a cooperative of fishing vessels operating from ports throughout New England. We harvest seafood, primarily groundfish such as cod, haddock, and flounder, from the Gulf of Maine, Georges Bank, and southern New England waters. We operate under strict regulations both federally mandated, and additional rules enacted voluntarily by our membership to ensure that we harvest responsibly and do not exceed catch limits designed to prevent overfishing.
