Seafood Eco-labelling is a way of communicating to customers that the product is sourced from well-managed capture fisheries or aquaculture production facilities that focus on issues related to the sustainable use of fisheries resources.

Quality and price are not the only criteria for choosing what to eat. Consumers increasingly consider other factors too, like whether the production process respects the environment and workers.

Friend of the Sea has developed a set of seafood certification standards for fisheries and aquaculture products that provide tools for minimising the negative effects of aquaculture operations, and ensuring that fisheries respect the marine environment, thus preserving natural resources for the future. 

The impacts of sustainable seafood certification are clear. 

Friend of the Sea encourages sustainability by creating consumer awareness and giving certified seafood companies a credible way to promote their environmental and social accountability.
