Seafood Industry

At Sustain-the-Globe, we have advised on a broad spectrum of issues confronting the American seafood industry – an industry that faces substantial challenges from a combination of pollution, warming waters and long–term supply.

In the post–spill Gulf of Mexico, we conducted interviews with seafood industry producers who sought to develop Gulf-wide strategies to brand Gulf wild seafood as a ‘gold standard’ sustainably produced. While the price for Gulf oysters, shrimp and finish has rebounded, we worked with Gulf trade associations who sought to development action plans in the case of man-made disaster, agricultural runoffs or offshore spills, to assure the long–term sustainability of the supply.
