About Us

We are working toward a world where everyone has access to responsibly sourced seafood.

Sustainable, responsibly produced seafood should not be a luxury item, available only to a few. It should be the norm.

At SFP, we work across the entire seafood value chain, from the world’s largest retailers to artisanal fishers, to find practical solutions to difficult problems. We have a proven reputation for collaboration and problem solving. We speak the hard truths and don’t shy away from controversy. But our only agenda is promoting fisheries and aquaculture improvement.

And we know that the only way to achieve 100% sustainable seafood is to improve ALL fisheries and aquaculture, not just focus on the best sources or the improving few.

So, we do not urge our partners to switch sourcing, and we do not support boycotting or red-listing poorly performing or managed fisheries. Rather, we ask our partners and those we work with around the world to stay and help fix the problems – to engage with fishers, producers, processors, and other stakeholders to figure out what improvements are needed and then to help them achieve those aims.

Through our strong relationships with the seafood industry and the catch sector, we leverage the power of retailers, seafood buyers, and their supply chains to drive change in fisheries and aquaculture regions around the world. We bring industry together with NGOs, governments, fishers, and scientists, to find creative, collaborative solutions that work for everyone and benefit industry, nature, and people.

Our VISION is one of healthy marine and aquatic ecosystems, where 100 percent of the world’s seafood is produced sustainably and responsibly.
Our MISSION is to engage seafood supply chains globally to rebuild depleted fish stocks, reduce the environmental impacts of fishing and fish farming, and ensure sustained economic opportunities for fishing communities worldwide.
