Industry Leadership

Help enforce compliance

Ensuring compliance is a group effort.

The third pillar of effective fisheries management is compliance. Once governments and regional and international organizations have set the rules, it is up to industry to ensure that all the businesses in their supply chain comply with those rules.

The most important thing that seafood buyers can do to make sure regulations succeed is to buy legal seafood from companies that participate in good fisheries management systems and respect local regulations.

ADD: Examples: Transparency – ODP? Electronic monitoring? Prevent IUU?
