Promoting Ecosystem Aquaculture

Aquaculture has grown more than 500 percent in the past 30 years, supporting millions of people, including many small-scale farmers in developing countries.

Ecosystem aquaculture supports industry, nature, and people by building more productive, resilient, and sustainable aquaculture supply chains within a shared landscape – creating a responsible sourcing area. It benefits not only farmers but also communities and other users of natural resources like land and water.

SFP works with international markets, the seafood supply chain, and local communities to ensure a safe, reliable supply of farmed seafood, guided by our Framework for Sustainably Managed Aquaculture, which forms the basis of and is monitored by FishSource Aquaculture.

We prioritize major aquaculture countries — China, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam — partnering with producers, NGOs, industry, and governments to promote sustainable practices and prevent disease outbreaks.
