Two of the nation’s sustainable seafood pioneers announced their recent business partnership. EcoFish and Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch® program, both conceived in 1999, formalized their long-standing collaborative relationship, with EcoFish becoming one of Seafood Watch’s first official “Business Partners”.
Seafood Watch Business Partners make a time-bound commitment to sell only environmentally responsible seafood and help transform the marketplace in favor of more responsible fisheries and aquaculture operations. Business Partners work to build awareness about ocean-friendly seafood choices across North America.
Henry Lovejoy, President and Founder of EcoFish states – “We’re supporting healthy, abundant oceans by partnering with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program, and formalizing our commitment to source only environmentally responsible seafood. This is a commitment every seafood company in North America should be making, to assure plentiful fish stocks for future generations.”
Shawn Cronin, Seafood Watch Business Outreach Manager states – “We’re excited to have EcoFish as an official Business Partner. EcoFish is a sustainable seafood pioneer, and has made a significant commitment to seafood exclusively from environmentally sustainable fisheries.”
