Sustainable Seafood
Seafood has so many benefits, and yet too few people in the U.S. and Europe find it appealing. We have brought together into a single organization the world’s best sustainability, marketing and seafood experts to change that.
Fresh, delicious, responsibly sourced and packaged food from the world’s oceans is key to fighting the effects of climate change.
Our passion for consumers drives our approach to supplying sustainable ocean-based foods while inspiring people to eat more fish. Our experts apply experience – from global powerhouses including Pepsi and Unilever – with analyzing data and behavioral patterns to understand how people feel about seafood, and apply what they’ve learned to craft and deliver brands and products that enhance people’s lives.
Our teams at New England Seafood, Icemar, AG Seafood, Normarine and Independent Packers Corporation are all innovators with decades of experience navigating complex seafood challenges. They are devising new ways to make the most of every fish and add value for the people who pull those fish from the ocean. They have developed unique capabilities around sourcing, storing and processing top quality, superfrozen tuna – including a patented defrost process – so consumers can enjoy the freshest possible chilled seafood. They are working with governments and NGOs to ensure our fisheries are healthy enough to feed humanity for generations to come.
We bring together people and expertise from around the world to keep oceans healthy and enhance lives through seafood.
