WFOA is a non-profit association representing about 400 albacore pole and line vessels, owners, and supporting businesses based in California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, New Zealand, and British Columbia. These family-owned boats fish for Wild Pacific Albacore from June through October, and in the South Pacific from January through April.
Artisanal hook and line vessels fished by members of the same families over several generations form the core of WFOA. Local west coast albacore is a fish repeatedly recognized by the FDA as nutritionally beneficial and has been certified sustainable through Marine Stewardship Council.
