SFP operates through two main principles: information and improvement. SFP has created a database of fisheries profiles which contains assessments of sustainability and improvement needs called FishSource. SFP helps seafood companies engage with fisheries by creating FIPs to work together with multi-stakeholder groups for the creation and implementation of improvement plans.
The Seafood Slavery Risk Tool, a web-based tool to help businesses assess the potential risk of forced labour, human trafficking, and hazardous child labour in fisheries has been developed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Liberty Asia and the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership. It produces a rating indicating the likelihood that human rights violations are occurring on fishing boats in a specific fishery.
