A Meeting Of Minds

On acquiring North Atlantic Seafood LLC Kim Gorton, Slade Gorton's president and CEO, acknowledged :

 "Jerry Knecht, North Atlantic's founder and CEO, has spent many years developing a model that has achieved substantial levels of sustainable harvesting. We have invested in an organization which has supported the industry in its diligent approach to sustainability. 

They have succeeded in developing a system that integrates social welfare through the supply chain, which is paramount to Slade Gorton's philosophy. 

My family have been in the fishing business for over five generations, and, like my forefathers, we continue to ensure that our sustainable practices meet world standards. 

Having  Noth Atlantic Seafood LLC in our stable brings us closer to where the catches are, and we can be closer to our suppliers, which allows us to monitor and improve current practices across the archipelago. In addition, this acquisition will burnish our supply of sustainable and responsible harvest of warm water species”.
