Securing healthy food and decent work for an estimated 10 billion people on the planet by 2050 will take urgent, collective action. To meet the growing demand in a sustainable way the seafood sector needs to work together towards well-managed fisheries and aquaculture production systems on a global scale.

Seafood MAP – Measuring and Accelerating Performance of global seafood supply – is the new market- and investment-based program by GSSI and IDH, the Sustainable Trade Initiative. The program will mobilize dynamic public-private collaboration across the sector to champion seafood sustainability in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
The Seafood MAP supports non-certified local seafood producers and markets to become more sustainable. A joint roadmap and common language based on the FAO Guidelines will help both producers and investors in making fisheries and aquaculture more sustainable.
Seafood MAP is co-financed by IDH.
“In a fragmented sector like seafood, the Seafood MAP will provide vital alignment between market and investors to incentivize farmers and fishers’ progress towards sustainable practices.”
Flavio Corsin, Program Director, Aquaculture Program – IDH, the Sustainable Trade initiative:
“The collaborative development of the Seafood MAP program is a vital next step in realizing our vision of more sustainable seafood for everyone. GSSI looks forward to more partners joining our shared journey.”
Herman Wisse, Managing Director, GSSI
