Seafood Sustainability Resources

"The Gulf of Maine Research Institute is a non-profit marine science center located in Portland, Maine. Our work strengthens five essential elements that define an enduring relationship with the ocean:

• Healthy Ecosystem

• Sustainable Industries

• Vibrant Communities

• Abundant Opportunities

• Inspired Children"





"FishChoice.com is an online, sustainable seafood sourcing tool that connects retail, restaurant, and institutional seafood buyers to suppliers of sustainable seafood products. FishChoice.com also helps sustainable aquaculture operations and wild fisheries that utilize environmentally responsible fishing methods find markets for their products."

"Sustainable Fisheries Partnership is a young and dynamic, business-focused NGO that is reshaping the world of corporate responsibility through the creation of powerful information tools and a methodology that allows companies to directly engage with suppliers of natural resources. It does not campaign or provide eco-labels but works to reduce the barriers to action by industry in creating a more sustainable world. SFP operates through two main principles: information and improvement."



"Worldwide, many of our favorite types of seafood are  becoming less common. The New England Aquarium’s Sustainable Seafood Programs promote ocean-friendly seafood, encourage the responsible  management of our fishery resources and provide support to regional and  international fishing communities, industries and organizations"

"The world demand for protein is growing and the demand for seafood is growing with it. By ensuring that seafood is ocean-friendly, fisheries and seafood farms around the world will change their practices so that seafood is no longer overfished or fished/harvested using destructive methods."
