Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP)

Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) provides assessments of sustainability and improvement needs for source fisheries to seafood buyers. SFP is working in a pod led by Future of Fish that includes technology companies focused on developing global solutions for seafood traceability. SFP’s public database, FishSource.org, is one of the world’s largest catalogs of source fishery information for wild harvest seafood and contains over 2,000 source fisheries. FishSource.org maintains a standard for identifying a source fishery that could be used in validating fisheries in traceability systems. SFP is working with many collaborators to complete design and development of this source fishery validation tool so this fundamental information can flow through the supply chain. Going forward SFP is working to expand this same level of identification to watersheds for aquaculture production and will embark on a Fishery Improvement Project (FIP) traceability pilot.
