We are a collective of retailers, food service companies, and supply-chain businesses with a commitment to sourcing sustainable seafood and achieving long-term sustainability through robustly managed pelagic fisheries.
We are using our collective voice to advocate for long-term, science-based management of North East Atlantic pelagic stocks: for prospering oceans, fisheries, and business security.
NAPA represents an unprecedented coalition of business leverage, pushing hard to stop overfishing of iconic – and globally important – pelagic stocks, namely North East Atlantic mackerel, Atlanto-Scandian herring, and North East Atlantic blue whiting.
To achieve this, NAPA is calling on the Coastal States targeting these stocks to put aside the complexities of politics and prioritise long-term sustainability.
The market wants to see these stocks managed in a way that helps them meet their commitments to people and planet – robust, long-term management will allow NAPA partners to source from these fisheries with confidence.
Keep up-to-date with all our latest news, media releases, reports, and more.
In realising this vision, retailers will be able to source ethical and sustainable pelagic seafood from fisheries in this region with confidence.
This confidence must be rooted in the knowledge that long-term, science-based management practices are in place, vocally supported by Coastal States’ decision-makers – meaning that supply is secure, and stocks will remain healthy into the future.

Dear #CoastalStates fishing for #NortheastAtlantic #mackerel:
Now is the time to CHOOSE to work together to share catches and stick to scientists’ advice for 2023.
Continuing to set excessive quotas is unacceptable & will not be tolerated by the market. #TakeYourFairShare. pic.twitter.com/NFKIsVhYTC
