A healthy ocean environment is the foundation of Clearwater’s business. As a business reliant on the oceans, and as a dedicated steward, it is our responsibility to understand the resources we harvest and their connections within the ecosystem. Managing our harvests intelligently and limiting the impact of our activities, both at sea and on land, is essential to protect the sustainability of the ocean and our business.
Clearwater is recognized nationally and internationally as an environmental leader by our commitment to:
• responsible fish harvesting practices
• investment in scientific data gathering and
marine ecosystem research
• continuous improvement through technology development.
As we continue to evolve, our focus has shifted from traditional individual-species management to broader ecosystem management that considers non-target species and habitat impacts. Our commitment to keep our ocean environment clean motivates us to adhere to strict waste disposal policies in our fleet and to support the work of non-governmental organizations on ocean pollution prevention programs within Canada.
We recognize that ecosystems are intrinsically linked. Clearwater operations on land as well as at sea are undertaken with a focus on sustainability.
The future of healthy, sustainable oceans lies in understanding that any single species is only as healthy as the environment in which it lives.
