Are you interested in learning how to implement or engage in Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs), but feel concerned about increasing travel restrictions or have no time to attend lengthy conferences and workshops abroad? No worries. WWF in collaboration with several other organizations have developed an online FIP training platform that provides fishery stakeholders worldwide with the necessary knowledge and skills to transition fisheries toward sustainability
Seafood is one of the most globally traded food commodities, and demand for it continues to rise. As a result, levels of fishing in many areas of the world are becoming increasingly unsustainable, and the list of endangered marine and freshwater species grows ever longer. Companies are increasingly willing to work with governments and conservation groups to shift the seafood market toward more sustainable and responsible sourcing. At the same time, though, some companies have yet to ban endangered species from their supply chains—a bare minimum requirement on the path to sustainability.
On February 18, 2019, WWF-Mexico hosted its first Sustainable Seafood Roundtable. The event, held at the Hyatt Regency in Mexico City, brought together representatives from across the full seafood supply chain, from fishermen to distributors, and end-market buyers such as Hyatt, Hilton, and Iberostar hospitality groups to explore the opportunities for, and barriers to, sourcing sustainable, responsible seafood in Mexico.
