At the Global Seafood Alliance #SeafoodSummit24, Benjamin Weis, Sustainability Lead at Cargill Aqua Nutrition, highlighted the importance of responsible sourcing of marine raw materials and the critical role of Fishery Improvement Programs (FIPs) in this journey. “At Cargill, we are committed to sourcing our marine raw materials responsibly. To achieve this, we need more fisheries to get certified. Fishery Improvement Programs (FIPs) provide a credible and timebound approach to certification, allowing fisheries to access markets during their transition. We encourage more fisheries to join FIPs and get certified.” FIPs offer a structured pathway for fisheries to improve their practices and achieve certification, ensuring they can meet market demands sustainably. By participating in FIPs, fisheries not only enhance their sustainability credentials but also gain access to new markets during their transition period.

check out the important findings for nature and people coming out of this newly published paper by Daniel Viana !
Millions of people living near reefs depend on seafood for minerals, vitamins, and fatty acids. The bad news is that dependence is at risk if coral reefs aren’t adequately managed and protected. But there is good news, our research suggests effectively managing and expanding sustainable-use marine protected areas around coral reefs also improves community access to those vital nutrients. When more resources are dedicated to protecting marine areas, food security for communities can improve. If governments and funding agencies take action, they can push forward 2030 conservation targets and multiple sustainable development goals.
