Our policy

Seafish is committed to the sustainable and efficient harvesting of those resources on which the UK seafood industry depends, the protection of marine ecosystems, and the development of marine aquaculture based on sustainable resource utilisation and best environmental practice.

Seafish will work to improve quality and to raise standards of seafood production, preparation and presentation throughout the industry.

Seafish Environmental Principles

Seafish projects and activities will be consistent with the above policy and will include:

1. helping to develop industry-wide environmental protection and conservation policies and encouraging their take up;
2. promoting the best interests of the seafood industry by providing accurate information and, whenever necessary, by challenging misinformation;
3. doing research, development and promotional activities to lessen the adverse environmental effects of the seafood industry;
4. working with the catching sector, scientists and other stakeholders to develop gears, operating protocols and management strategies that help conserve fish stocks and protect the marine environment; and
5. helping all sectors of the seafood industry to work towards the efficient use of water and energy, to minimise waste, and to use all natural resources responsibly.
