Let’s all row in the same direction. The world needs more seafood – wild and aquaculture. To achieve that, we must accelerate the % of sustainably managed wild fisheries and aquaculture operations.

Why does sustainability matter? It’s about preserving resources, yes. Without them, we won’t have an industry in the future. Seafood is vital. (See the contributions page for the array of benefits). Responsibly done, the sector addresses a host of society’s needs. Equally important, best practices have direct economic benefits.

Full benefit realization requires a comprehensive strategy for procurement, sales and marketing. This strategy should embrace not just food safety, quality and price, but also improver programs, certification, ESG policies, supplier performance monitoring, verification and continuous

improvement. Such an approach enhances confidence in the supply chain, market share, profits, and reputation at the company, community, and country levels.
