Sustainable fisheries management is therefore key to the protecting the ocean environment and safeguarding our resources for future generations.
Sustainable green fleets as part of a sustainable fisheries development and planning programme will significantly contribute towards maintaining fleet sustainability and ensuring that wild-caught sustainable seafood is sourced from populations that are well managed, not overfished and have been captured using fishing gear that has minimal impact on the habitat and ecosystem as a whole.
At Friend of the Sea our aim is to promote sustainable fisheries management through the certification of sustainable fisheries practices and sustainable fleet planning.
