Overfishing

Overfishing is a monumental, global issue. Our work focuses on empowering consumers and businesses to make responsible choices that ensure resources are harvested sustainably.

Sustainable Seafood Program

Three billion people rely on seafood as an important source of protein. But 30% of the world's fish stocks are already overfished. The Ocean Wise Seafood label empowers us all to sustainable decisions — to ensure our own survival and that of marine habitats.

Small Scale Fisheries Work

Fishing is more than a way to catch food, it is a livelihood, a source of cultural identity and connection to the land. We're working with fishing communities to develop novel ways to assess the sustainability performance of small-scale fisheries, emphasizing the inclusion of traditional and community knowledge with Western science-based approaches.
