Certification and Promotion of Seafood from Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture 

More than 2000 marine species are endangered. 30% of fish stocks are overexploited or depleted. The seabed, corals, mangrove forests and other critical ecosystems pay a high toll to unsustainable fishing and farming methods.

Friend of the Sea Approved Fisheries (a) target stocks which are not overexploited; (b) use fishing methods which don't impact the seabed and (c) generate less than average (8%) discards. 

Friend of the Sea Approved Aquaculture Farms are not impacting critical habitats; use feeds from trimmings or from Friend of the Sea approved fisheries; don't use GMO, chemicals, antifouling paints; apply measures to eliminate escapes and other marine animals and seabirds bycatches; limit and properly manage emissions. 

Products are audited and certified by accredited third party certifiers, according to FAO GUIDELINES. A list of approved fisheries and certified products is available for retail chains, producers and consumers. 

Yearly fee of 2.000,00 € (4.000,00 € on first year) per product with same origin, covers audit costs, logo licensing and promotion of products during Friend of the Sea events.
