Overview
Seafood assurance has a major role to play; the benefits of sustainable fisheries and fish farming as well as the need to mitigate the environmental impacts of fishing and aquaculture are increasingly in the public consciousness.
At the same time, the lack of properly implemented schemes has often failed to curb fishing effort, prevent overfishing and avoid environmental degradation.
